    How quaint.  I shaln't bother googling all that then.  Sticky Willie is what they call Goose Grass on Beechgrove.  But obviously, it's goose grass.....!  I would know what its real name is because I come from the south east.  (Tin hat!)

    I looked up "playing in the dirt" and that was innocent enough so then I looked back to see what else Caral might have written that could be embarrassing. Then I read on and realised that the innocent word which has always meant nicking something or stealing had another meaning. Googled it image Jim's fault for knowing about such things!

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
