Latest faff... or just female "logic"???
t'other half complains that the bathroom sink is always messy, soap dried on the soap shelf etc... so she wants a wall mounted soap dish.
We go to all the outlets spending almost half a day finding one and buying one of which she approves. I put it up and use it... result methinks!?!?!? Far from it... she now leaves the soap on the side of the washbasin to dry and then puts it in the soap dish as she "doesn't want the soap dish messy""!!!! Wimmins "logic"!!!! FFS!!!!!

Thank you.
My wife has Chronic Fatigue (ME). Yesterday evening she was suffering Post Exertional Malaise. In effect she'd pushed herself too hard. So she went to bed for a rest whilst I made the tea (it's a northern thing..like Dinner in the South, Not to be confused by dinner, which I understand they call lunch).
I'd rather eat at the dinning table, so I always lay it up and then when it's ready give her the option.
In this neck of the woods, tea is called supper. As a northern lad, that's my bedtime meal. But they still call people who serve you lunch in a canteen 'dinner ladies'. It’s all very confusing.My wife has Chronic Fatigue (ME). Yesterday evening she was suffering Post Exertional Malaise. In effect she'd pushed herself too hard.

The opposite of my (aspergers) nephew.
On his arrival, he says what time he will leave.
That time arrives, he walks to the hall, puts his shoes on, pops his head back un the lounge, and says, bye then. And he's out the door and down the road.
Once I was in the kitchen for a few moments and he'd gone. At exactly the time he said he'd go.
The perfect house guest! On his arrival, he says what time he will leave.

This was pointed out to her the same day by said nephew, who pointed out that he thinks its weird when people (at home or work) announce that they are going to the loo, going to the canteen, going for a walk, going to put some washing on, going to make a coffee, going to a meeting. My wife agrees with him.
I think it's weird not to.
But today I'm going to try not to announce anything.

South: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
North: Breakfast, dinner and tea.
Next people will be telling me a pikelet is a bloody crumpet!
Sorry, but your explanation fails to take into account the regional application of the term 'supper'.North: Breakfast, dinner and tea.
Next people will be telling me a pikelet is a bloody crumpet!
However, when you go out to eat in a restaurant in the north, you then go out for dinner, as opposed to going out for tea.
I'm now expecting southerns to state that the restaurants in the the north are so poor, that this point is moot anyway !
My 8 year old daughter struggled a bit with the breakfast, dinner/lunch, tea/dinner thing a few years ago because my sister lives down south in la-di-dah London and we go for meals out when she visits.
It’s a complete nightmare in our house too with my Irish wife and in-laws using their local terminology like press instead of cupboard.
More confusing was her struggle at the age of 5 with the analogue clock in a similar fashion to the Dave Allen sketch - 1 is 5, 2 is 10 and 3 is a quarter…

Cupboards are presses in my part of Scotland too but as far as I know its only applicable if your house is old and the storage space in question is shelved and approx 12-18 inches deep.It’s a complete nightmare in our house too with my Irish wife and in-laws using their local terminology like press instead of cupboard.

If you can walk into it then its a cupboard.
Unless its accessed from the kitchen in which case its a pantry.
A roll, barm, bap etc is simply a handy format of bread to contain a filling.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
