Recently, just before easter, a new couple moved into our road. They had moved up from the greatest city in England, i.e. Birmingham. The woman has retired, but the man still works and so spends the week in Brum and the weekends up here. Yesterday, whilst walking down to the shop, I saw him walking his dog. Not having seen him for a few weeks I hailed him with a hearty "Yom a'roit cock?" which seemed to offend one of the mad old bints that abide in the village who then tried to berate and harangue me for my use of such language.
I'm still not sure what I said which was so offensive, I can only assume it was my use of the work cock, but that would be stupid...yes, that must be it, she's stupid.
Oh Dear!

Though do you wear it "properly" or do you wear boxers?
depends, at the Hull meet I did both
No wonder you looked shocked when Cheeky Monkey crawled out from under the tables! <yikes.
I'd put underwear on at that point...and boy wasn't I glad of that.
Ummm... Yes, it could have been a bit tricky explaining things to Hoggy 
I'd have hidden behind VV
That wouldn't have worked, she would have been trying to get a look!! 
She wouldn't have to try, I'd happily show her

'twere very good. Although the sunday morning was a bit of a downer as the main reason I was so determined to get there left, but the rest of the sunday was good.
