(Actually over for Glasto but pretending she came over only to see us.)<br /><br />As she is the Scrabble Queen and not only at our house, we searched high and low for one of our three known versions - very old, travel and slightly newer. But to no avail and all the local charity shops were useless as well. FFS does everyone hang onto their sets until Kingdom Come? So we'll have to slink off to WH Smiths to buy a new set. That's if they still sell games and newspapers and books, as well as shelves full of sweets and chocolate bars at bargain prices.elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-63057308441714779682013-07-01T14:33:57.830-07:002013-07-01T14:33:57.830-07:00The tight bastard!The tight bastard!Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-29571074459991569952013-07-01T13:54:07.182-07:002013-07-01T13:54:07.182-07:00GOD only gets you 5 points in scrabbleGOD only gets you 5 points in scrabbleJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.com
