I was just looking at the classified section on a local web site and noticed this

http://worldradio.ch/classifieds-v2/item/10771

yep.. an armoured ( kevlar ) blanket..a steal at only CHf 2500. ( about £1500- ) or maybe you can bargain.

just the thing for those cold winter nights.

you should see the clothing section in our local paper, its amazing the stuff that people try to flog – and even more amazing they bother to advertise things that they want 50p or so for.

last weeks star bargain: mens grey pyjamas, worn once, £2.50!

of course if anyone wants the contact details pm me!!! : )

ahh… just saw your location as Cornwall.. our neighbour down Cornwall tried to sell us a tree.( as firewood ) . which he cut down on our yard. *L*

yard ?,.,,, errr,,,, yes that would once again mark me as American.

Why I have a yard?

Oh and yes classified sales often have unbelievable items for sale.

ok.. thats me wrong again.. I thought the word “yard” was profoundly american.

our neighbours often talk of spending time in the garden.. which ok to me is a yard.. that is when they are not trying to sell me my own trees.

I thought a yard was somewhere with out grass, like a builders yard or knackers yard.

the American yard = a grassy area ( generally ) , which I generally understood to be the British garden.

two nations separated…

anyway.. any takers on the blanket?

Ah you see I have a yard and a garden the yard being exactly a yard it out the back door next to the old coal house.

Blanket is the wrong size.

***crap joke alert***

Went into the chemist for some suppositories

Said on the packet ‘take up the back passage’

We haven’t got a back passage so took them in the back yard

Tasted foul 🙂
