Just to round off the week then - I promise - no more for a while :

Only the British would get this one!...........................

Mr Cadbury met Miss Rowntree on a Double Decker.

It was just After Eight.

They got off at Quality Street .

He asked her name. 'Polo, I'm the one with the hole' she said with a

Wispa.

'I'm Marathon , the one with the nuts' he replied.

He touched her Cream Eggs, which was a Kinder Surprise for her.

Then he slipped his hand into her Snickers, which made her Ripple.

He fondled her Jelly Babies and she rubbed his Tic Tacs.

Soon they were Heart Throbs.

It was a Fab moment as she screamed in Turkish Delight.

But, 3 days later, his Sherbet Dip Dab started to itch.

Turns out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Bassett and he had

Allsorts!

For our American cousins, if you have not guessed, this tome is about using the names of sweets and choc bars on sale in UK to create the story. Not the same when you have to explain it though.LOL

My mom is Swedish American and went to same parenting school. For me it was Don't pick your nose or it'll get stuck that way (?) and Shut the door. Were you born in a BARN? (our agricultural roots!) Laughing out loud! My mom also taught me STOICISM "what's the use of saying anything? It's like talking to a brick wall." and ACCEPTANCE "You made your bed, you lie in it." and finally ? "Patty, you always have to have the last word." "No, I don't". happy mothers day (here in states on 13th)

I think parents must be the same wherever we live. I have said most of these things to my children and expect they will say them to their children. Reading them brings back many happy memories of my childhood. Thanks Drew and great to have you back. One my mother used to say to me was don't look like that cos if the wind changes your face will stay like that.

ronn in reply to Court

My mom told me the same thing and I was going to shape up, but before I could, %$*&(*^, the wind changed!

There is a saying in Finland at least, that I'm using , too, in situations when I just can't get my boys to do anything and nothing is progressing: - this is like dragging a sled full of stones.(I'm not sure of the translation.) and another one is when they don¨t bother to clean up there mess is ---you are living like in a field --do not sound good translated..I don't know if you get the idea--.

All the sayings here have been familiar to me,also most of those britsh candy ones.. I guess we all humanbeings go through the same things ...and the good candies are known everywhere..:-)

They sound just fine. I know what you mean about the translation - something seems not quite right. Your English is better than mine - I'm Scottish!

Hi Drew!! I'm happy you are back too! We have heard those here in San Antonio, TX USA! Heehee!! Wow!! We are ALL the same!!! My hubby says he was told most of those all the time growing up!! My mom only told us that the crossed eyes would stay that way if the wind blew into them!! I'm copying this and sharing it on my email to my family and friends!! Love it!! Thanks!! Mary

:-D

You are welcome. San Antonio, what a great name. I got an abuse report on me for those funnies would you believe? There's no pleasing everyone. They will probably trip over their halo! Y'all have a good day from a rather cold North East Scotland. Oh, one more - "I'll take my hand off your face!" It wasn't the coming off that bothered me it was what came before. Ouch. Be proud Mary.

North East Scotland???? You live there? Wow!!! Isn't technology just fantastic!!??? Wish I could vist!!!! San Antonio is a geat place to visit too and lots of people who do never leave!! Haha!! Getting crowded here!! Ever been?
