    My mum came round a year or so back and told me she'd just got a new car, I said what type is it, she said silver. <doh>

    The complete opposite for us- for me a couple of glasses of red wine/month and an occasional light beer shandy. She loves her wine and champagne so I do all driving coming home from social events.

    Sooo ... you can be quite funny when you try really hard. Did you copy it from somewhere? And, it's a really **** car.

    Gifford Hillary's? Suits you down into the ground. A little bird tells me you won't get this, but Google is a wonderful thing.
    Your secret teetotal best friend, BT.

    Aaah! The greatest generation! My lovely wife has now been totally tee-total ten years (how alliterative!), and my intake is similar to yours. That's just one of the 'benefits' of being a mature grown-up.

    "When men were men, and monkeys chewed tobacco..."
    I can't remember where that line comes from. Can you, or any of you other grown-ups on here, please remind me? Ta.

    UPDATE
    Whatever it was that I did end up doing yesterday ... I shouldn't have
    I've got a banging headache and there is a weird array of different types of glasses used in the kitchen...cocktail (and a cocktail shaker), tequila (although actually I know I use that one for scotch sometimes) white wine, red wine and pint.
    Considering there was only three of us drinking and the ladies had been on it since lunchtime it looks like it got messy

    I shall have to consult sober Askew later if I need more details...don't think I will

    Have not heard of that line. In my rugby union playing days in the 50's
    when I was into songs and ditties there was one which began:

    'In days of old when knights were bold and monkeys chewed tobacco'....

    That's all I can offer.

    Yes! That's probably it. Thank you! I vaguely remember singing that on the bus back home!
