I suppose there is little turbulence and thus sideways mixing.

Jigjag. My first reaction to Cassie's rebuke was 'Ha, that serves Jigjag right'! The apparently superfluous apostrophe might have caught me out too, to course, but it never will now. I'll be hyper-vigilant now.

ChrisE, the river stuff was interesting.

Hello all

I'm so glad you guys are talking to each other again. I've been following your banter with great amusement, especially the delightful Cassie. I imagine her as the old-fashioned type who nonchalantly takes your order with a cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth (current legislation notwithstanding). The varied career of Grunger is also quite fascinating. Amazing to have accomplished so much, though surprisingly, waitress seems not to be on her CV. Could Cassie take her on for the Christmas season perhaps?

Geing, Grunger waitressing? She has far too many pies to make for that to be a good use of her time.

My apologies. Naturally, such a talented lady would have enough on her plate already

Thanks, Getting. Grunger is very versatile, so might like to be dishing out pies rather than cooking them. From the stories on the Forum, it's often Jigjag with a lot - an awful lot -on his plate!

Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you like hearing about our experiences.

You are right about Cassie. She IS the old-fashioned type, late fifties, blonde, attractive. I have never seen her smoke though. She works hard taking orders, serving and washing-up - by hand. Paul, the owner, is the chef.

She enjoys the banter with customers. It is always interesting there, with the strange rules, Cassie's sharp tongue and her uncanny knack of always being right. I often go there when I am in town during the Christmas period.

I also enjoy hearing from Malone and Grunger about their shopping, coffee and baking exploits.

Thank you - it is very kind of you to take in interest in my career. I suppose I have had a lot of roles. I like to use the appropriate female ending, so when I think about it, I have been actress, usherette, executrix, ballerina, charwoman, landlady, barmaid, schoolmistress, ballgirl, and possibly others that I cant remember.

I don't mind the -er ending for some jobs e.g. dancer, baker, but I will not accept author or poet, when there are established -esses.

Malone also gave me some recent career advice, but unfortunately I have been unable to secure an apprenticecandlestickmakeressship.

Grunger

You would have been screaming at the TV tonight during Univ Chall. There was a series of questions on the subject of the idiotic "female actors"
