    I have never seen a City with so many designer dogs especially the little ones, must admit not too impressed at the fact they do not clean up after the little mutts:(

    A similar experience when a man from Brum, the accent gave him away, yelled at someone, repeating it several times, getting louder each time. The only response was the full Gaelic shrug.

    After the man departed, in perfect English the recipient of the abuse, asked why did people have to be so rude.

    You noticed them as well al. I couldn't believe my eyes in one restaurant when a place was laid at a table for a dog, it sat on a chair and a plate of steak off cuts were brought. The lady owner fed it these tit bits off a fork.

    Millens, nice to see you again.

    Have you thought about doing a French course on Saturday afternoons? It could be more profitable. <laugh>

    Great! My son went on a university visit today to Leeds, the coach was delayed an hour and he's going to miss the last train home. Poor mum will have to head out and pick him up from wherever he makes it to..hopefully Watford Junction!
