Confession

Agreed! I'm 67!

I remember all of the above as well as the farmers coming down with carts drawn by lovely big Clydesdale horses to fetch loads of seaweed from the shore to fertilise the best potatoes ever - Ayrshires.

And I'm only 61!!!

Yes, and my granny regularly went out with a shovel to collect the horse's droppings!

I also remember the rag and bone man with goldfish or plastic windmills in exchange for whatever! He had an 'OSS and cart as well!

And really, is that old geezer likely to look on here to see if he's been plagiarised? He might now, though - someone could shop you, jingl!

Fiat Lux - what a great name for a car.

Well, now you've made us all accomplices!

Yes! They had a pilot flame and this man came round every night, put his hook into a ring pull, and
FIAT LUX!

Anagram. It was flippin' guilt!

You can't!!! Can you?!

Gas lamps? Like Robert Louis Stevenson's poem?

I can't.

I can! I thought you were older than me! I also remember the man with his hook coming to ignite the gas lamps in our road.

Oh I see! So it was vanity which led you to confess?

Well, Anagram, I can't really remember bread, coal and milk being delivered by horse and cart.

Naughty step for you THAT WAS plagiarism!

Yes, that's truly bad jingl!

So why confess to it?

Don't worry Jings, your secret is safe with us

Oh no!!! You don't understand.

They weren't my replies. They were some old geezer's comments from a blogspot. Or something.

See. It was bad!

Yes, surely if you have the same opinion on two different forums, you will post the same response on each!

Non-exclusive means we can use our own stuff elsewhere as well, I think. Which would make jingl's repeated post just fine.

I'm sure I'll be corrected if that's wrong.

Anagram As I seldom say anything worth quoting, I guess I'm okay... smarmy

I'll sue!

Oh, hang on....I will sue if they ever quote me without my permission!

That's ok, I thought there was something at the back of my mind about lubricants!

Sorry Jeni - knew it was somewhere on the site:
