Just had a superb lunch at the Clockspire restaurant with four old and dear friends to celebrate the Memsahib's birthday. We have a couple of multi-zillionaires who moved into the village recently and they decided to sink some of their money into buying the old village school and turning it into an ultra-excellent - and expensive! - restaurant. Simply superb! I paid the bill and for the next few months I will be living on bread and dripping! Still 'n' all, you can never do enough for a good wife, or so they say!

Duffers, that has also been my experience (the bit about not being able to do enough).

Thank you, Gentlemen, I shall pass on your birthday greetings. As for bread and dripping, I am trying to think when was the last time I ever tried it!

One of the family grandads lived in Wokingham and whenever we visited we had to take Yorkshire dripping with us as Wokingham's so posh no butcher sells it!

Thank you again, ladies and gentlemen, for your good wishes to the 'Memsahib' which I have passed on.
Jannie, yes indeed, I know Wokingham well because I used to live in Ascot/Sunninghill just down the road. Yes, it is very 'posh' but it has become even posher since I left for 'zunny Zummerzet'!!
