Scottie!

How funny that the same day that John posts this up about his little Scottie, I buy this one from a new antiques flea-market here in Bath (I also bought a nice Georgian Rummer glass, but I won't bore you with that - for a change...). It's only about 2 inches long and it sits nicely with the other metal dog on the mantle-piece - but I will send it as a little present to you if you really want it John!

    Ok, I'll go to some old emails and see if I can find your address. If I can't, I'll ask for it again - if I can, I'll post it in about an hour.

    It's lovely. I'm sure if you had posted it to John the dogs, Trelawnyd, N.Wales it would have reached him :)

    Yes, he is a smart little dog, but then they are smart little dogs aren't they? Lovely to see John so chuffed.

    Oh John, you've sold out. We'll never hear the end of this.

    I thought you 'couldn't be bought for the price of a cocktail'?

    That's pretty much his EXACT address, Eileen.

    In this case, he's sold out for the price of the '-Tail' on that doggie, Chris. 'Cock-' has nothing to do with it - honest. No, really.

    Hmmm. We'll have to take your word for that Tom won't we.

    now I have my principles
    but like anyone, I CAN BE bought!
    A DOUBLE GIN AND TONIC ( with ice and lemon) will get me laughing at anyone's bad jokes!

    Now it all makes sense John.

    All those empty square green bottles outside your house of an evening.

    I thought it was Trelawnyd's bottle bank on Google Earth!

    I think you'll find that 'Bombay Sapphire' is the gin of choice up there in the land of our Mothers, Chris - they're sapphire coloured bottles, so I am told.
