Morning all. Strictly speaking "got" is not good grammar and is usually unnecessary. I have blue eyes - no need for "got". I became old. Not sure about I got out of bed! It's "have got" that shouldn't really be used, but in the last 50 years has become part of the English language.
Anyway, I hope you find a solution DD!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hooray! I haven't been able to log in for the last day or so (since the glitch on Sunday). I could read other people's posts but wasn't able to reply. Anyway, it seems as if it's fixed now.
ive got some moon photos but they're not brilliant. I'll have a bit of a go on the camera thread.

I find it hard to use 'got' ...... blame Ma - she said it was an ugly word - or that's what Sister Whatsit told her as she rapped Ma's knuckles with a ruler
But if you're teaching 'English as she is spoke' then somehow you have to explain it. (I nearly said 'somehow you've got to explain it).
Well, the bright sunshine has disappeared and been replaced by drizzle .... we will be making an expedition to B&Q shortly for OH's piece of wood ............. I may well be found in the gardening section ........... or will it be full of Christmas trees ???

Morning all / afternoon Pat
Very mild here too. . . didn't need electric blanket last night and the second morning that I've put the heating off early.

I agree BL - we can probably blame the Americans for this one (easy targets at the moment anyway!!)
In their defence, however, an American would never say "I have got old" - (s)he would say "I've gotten old.."
Trying to explain the vagaries of the English language - I wish you well DD
