Corrected that for you
Ok you win the prize for the first to come up with that rather predictable reponse!!!Corrected that for you
When I was about 19 I was working in a pub where they used to sell wine, pretty rubbish stuff, by the glass, it was labelled "Hirondelle" and when a punter asked me what it meant and I told him, he laughed his socks off.
"Hirondelle is no longer produced. It has disappeared into the squiffy mists of time, along with flares and glam rock. It was an Italian white table wine masquerading under a French name. For supermarket customers - first time wine-drinkers whose dads still swore by Double Diamond - it was safe, but with a hint of sophistication. At £1.39 a bottle in 1979, it had the right economic bouquet, though a Good Food Guide survey that year rated it as no more than 'acceptable'."
Thinking about it, that weren't cheap at all for the time!! And I never knew it was Italian in origin.
I always did wonder if the producers thought it would be an amusing bilingual pun.
We all made loads of those up when in France doing our year abroad.
Frinstance gay people became "once-a-monthers" as the Frog for Gay is "pédé"! (etc etc)
All good fun!
They were probably Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses. At least they'll remember him in their prayers!!I trust you dropped a big hint, like - "No, can't accept money. Sorry, got to go, off to the offy to get a bottle of (insert fave tipple) before it shuts".

I'm sure when his soul left his body he will have questions to answerNo flipping loss.
Still amazes me he got away with it.
Even though he paid through the nose in the civil court.
I got him to ride it up and down the street, and then they put it in their car.That must have been nice.
Virtue is its own reward and all that but must have been nice seeing him ride off on it, if he did!
Nope, didn't want to. Happy to help the lad out of trouble.I trust you dropped a big hint, like - "No, can't accept money. Sorry, got to go, off to the offy to get a bottle of (insert fave tipple) before it shuts".
...that it is now 2 days later and the "entitled" neighbour has not come over to collect their parcel.
Wife thinks they have gone away for the Easter school hols, but there's someone going in and out the door daily and parking up there each night. Next time I shall just say "No, sorry can't help".
