Ahhh. The toad analogy. Lovely and accurate visual. It is all rather becoming a mix of Wind in the Willows meets Alice in Wonderland with a bit of Winnie the Pooh slotted in.

How odd…that phrase ‘lamb and salad’ came into my head a couple of days ago while looking at recipes. I love lamb but don’t think I’ve ever had this on a plate, or would want to. My recollection is that it was an insult, ‘look at her, done up like lamb and salad’. NE colloquialisms, discuss.

Oh well, you've avoided so far being on the right side of tax. As well as so far death! Here's hoping Trump cannot soon avoid either...

I don’t feel the least bit sorry for “Pete” but don’t you at least feel sorry for us to have Our Dear Leader back ?! I was hoping he’d be overwhelmed by your famous hospitality and stay.

I'm guessing the local asylum didn't have a bed free.
