  • Had I an amusing anecdote about a number plate that read 'off topic', I would share it.

    Impatiens is an edelweiss (as Dibber was wont to aver) and one ought to be more tolerant. But really - this is vacuous tripe.

  • Indeed, darling. Each to his - or, if one is being modern, her - own, wot?

    a tool hire company called Altis tools received a call one day from a dealer who had just bought a car with the number plate ALT 1S, they snapped it up.

    A local butcher when I lived in Scotland had a Rolls with the plate UPU 2

    Devon.
  • Busy and, indeed, Lizzie, I see you live in the Dordogne! Splendid. Is it true that the French for a little runner bean is courgette?

    There's a village called Spy about 15kms from here.  They found the remains of a Neanderthal man there in 1886 in a cave.

    No cyclamen that I know of but I do grow them in my garden.

    French people grow French green beans of course, not runner beans!

    we have wonderful village names nearby. How about Bush, Box's Shop, Splatt ( my fave) Muckworthy, or , rather more sinister Killatree?

    Great cartoon PF.

    In Wallonia there's one called Wierde and another called Silly nad one called Bouge which means move and another called Jambes which means legs.

    In Flanders there's one called Erps-Kwerps that always makes me wonder.
