and so I did Flum. This lot "what are they like"
Let's just ignore them. Kids today take everything for granted without giving a tinkers cuss as to where or what it came from.

How very dare you Bren? My children and their children take nothing for granted and I doubt they know what a Tinker's curse is!

When i were a lad we hung a pillowcase up at the bottom of the bed and lain awake until santa, who by this time had enjoyed millions of brandy laced mince pies and what must have been gallons of sherry, came upstairs burping and swearing to fill em with goodies.. he dint half sound like our old fella did santa.

Santa’s Dilemma,
C2010 By
Roger Turner

Old Santa is in a dilemma,
And he don’t know what to do,
For he’s found a sack full of presents,
From nineteen-sixty-two.

He was cleaning out an old barn,
That hadn’t been used ages,
So he could turn it into a holiday let,
To supplement his wages.

Twas a pillowcase in our house too Roger must of been a regional thing, nice ditty btw.

Can't really hang it down can we Bren?

Norah Batty could!

[Snadger]

I got it right.........I used to hang my football sox up!

Erm, Bren accusing others of childish retorts - me thinks she has been hacked by an inverted spammer....someone who wants 'in' to come and tell people off and clean this place up a bit.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

What are you on about? Once again you have hit me where it hurts. Are you suggesting I am the devil within?

We all love you really, Brengirl. Us kids can't elp it!

[Florence Fennel]

OOerr Missis!

[Brengirl]

as I was saying....we all hope to have gifts under the tree but why should we hang a stocking (for greedy ones a pillow case) on the foot of our bed. Mummy and Daddy don't seem to have the answer so I guess it's true - someone somewhere wants us to be happy cos it's Christmas.
