Just to clear it up DM, it's 'B', but I do have a Greek cousin, perhaps that's who you might be thinking of?

As for the pronunciation, I think both your interpretations have charm and I'd answer to either, which are different of course to the one that I intended.

And thanks to yourself, JL and SteveT for the kind words.

I'm currently standing here blushing, twisting my hands behind my back and fixing my gaze on my shoes. All the while telling you that I'm not worth it.

It was how I was taught to take compliments by the priests.

I'm going with Hoipolloi for the shoe in the recycling bin.


I genuinely spat tea over my monitor when I read that, to many a bemused look from my colleagues, which all gave rise to a most entertaining thread (D_C the tea came out of my nose to your festival inferno post).

Hope she's coping with the Type 2 fear today.

Thanks JL, it's good of you and if I had hair I'd be blushing to my roots at your kind words.

Sean, thanks for that, about da wimmin but there's a surefire cure fer dat, one room, me, dem and foive minets. Dey'll be runnin' screamin' into de noight. Fer sure. Whoiy wouldn't dey?

Hoipolloi created great fun, I don't think it's always the better for being a true, but in this instance it was.

But I'm going with *Bob*. I was unaware of the 'tea' thread before it got lounged as I hardly stray outside ED Goss and Lounge sections, a great ruse and deftly and hliariously teased on.

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
