This means that they have to cut themselves with it before putting it back - unless they decide to draw some from you instead.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-9551242147974090422014-05-05T06:56:12.333-07:002014-05-05T06:56:12.333-07:00I have never heard of them before - and I must adm...I have never heard of them before - and I must admit I cannot stop thinking about pickles.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-44021648804423007222014-05-05T05:43:43.982-07:002014-05-05T05:43:43.982-07:00Yes, I think I mentioned that Woking was the town ...Yes, I think I mentioned that Woking was the town of my first infant school - I could have been born in Kathmandu, though.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-61256539709182882152014-05-05T05:40:20.636-07:002014-05-05T05:40:20.636-07:00I'm sure I've mentioned that Lady Magnon s...I'm sure I've mentioned that Lady Magnon should have been born in Kathmandu (before actually being born in Woking.
