Yeovil has a shop called ?The Yeovil sheepskin centre? it sold all things sheepskin. It ran a series of cutaway shot cinema interval type ads on T.V. back in the 80,s and 90?s, with that wonderful strap line ?Yeovil sheepskin centre, for all your sheepskin needs? and ?located just off the A37 with ample customer parking?

The ads must have been aimed at shift workers, or people coming in from the pub, as they usually ran after about 10pm.

Living in Sussex I often wondered how many people actually thought ?f*ck, I think I?ll drive all the way to Yeovil and buy one of those sheepskin coats when I need one?

That reminds me of one of Viz comic's "Top Tips" many years ago: "Car owners! Why spend thousands of pounds on vanity plates? Simply spend ?15 and change your name to P878 FWT."

In the bible, which I am not saying is a factual work, it is a fact that in it, some youths called an old man baldy so god sent 42 bears to attack them! Also that you can't get into heaven without your goodies apparently.

We got a letter from the council "AN ANNUAL REVIEW ... THAT IS CARRIED OUT EVERY TWO YEARS"????

Fact: We had a family telegram from Elvis because he couldn't be bothered to turn up for the prize winners of a rock and roll competition.

Fact: When I am in my nicer sports car road users are more polite and give way more often than when I am transporting oldies in the old farts estate car!

Same thing but when you carry an expensive handbag rather than a rucksack.

It's worse

"Elisha turned around and stared at the boys. Then he cursed them in the name of the LORD. At once two bears ran out of the woods and ripped to pieces 42 of the boys. "

Syrian bears - not in Palestine any more but they were in biblical times. If you want an animal that really gives the bible credibility a good shake, look up Abraham's domesticated camels...

Credibility and bible are not words I would use in the same sentence ....
