The first two lines, "'Do you need any help sir?'

What sort of question is that? Of course he needs help, he's male he's in a flower shop and it's the day before Mothers Day. He hasn't got a clue."

Made me out loud, and I don't do that much anymore

You are too kind oh older inhabitant!
Take care
Boots

I am aren't I?

You may be an older inhabitant of this planet but I am as old as methusula...deference please! Off to do rewites on 16,000 words...joy!

Younger people learn quicker

hmmm, some things Jodan, maybe. They'd learn even faster if they listened more to their elders and betters .

This is great Boots, as always.

' 'Baybeeeee!' - I hope, oh I hope that is entirely fictional .
Please tell me that bit's based on fact!

A couple of things, probably me but I couldn't place 'himself with the beautiful eyes'. And in 'The Saturday girls, two pairs'- two pairs of what ?

I felt better for reading that, thanks,
Waz

Alas he was embarrassed...baybeeee!
Him with the beautiuful eyes? (WW part two...the weekend hippy phase)I need to break the habit of linking back, it makes little sense to the new reader...and is almost anal.
two pairs of tweedles?...strange but true. Saturday girls seem to arrive in pairs. They then proceed to do everything together for at least six months, ergo tweedledum and tweedle dee. On a busy weekend four are needed ....four of them equals two pairs. Agree not clear... must stop confusing reality, it really is stranger than fiction.
Am still banging away at the rewrites thanks to you...would like an opinion but don't feel 'write' about sending to h2g2. any ideas?

Have made a couple of changes...too late for the post but I know you're 'write' again! Thanks once more.
Take care

Alas he was embarrassed' it was a terrible thing to do, bet deep down he liked it though, sort of.

Those eyes. Of course. That's my bad memory and going to Spain between reading the two. If it's a weekly serial is linking that bad? Readers coming in in the middle have only themselves to blame. They should read the backlog!

Four tweedles, I get it now. So is it always the same twosomes or is it sometimes, and this should be said doublequick, tweedledumone with tweedledeetwo while tweedledumtwo's with tweedledeeone?

Re rewrites - . I hope you take everything I write with large pinches of salt because I'm strictly amateur at this and not necessarily 'write' at all. Anything I write is just one reader's opinion. Which you know. I'm writing this for my own peace of mind I guess. I'd love to read the 16000 words.

Ideas: Idea 1, you could post to h2g2 temporarily, marking it not for review so no one nicks it. That way you could get other opinions too, (you see, there's me looking for a tweedlehalf). Then you can blank it out and update the entry with a blank page - that way it's not saved anywhere here. (If you delete an entry it still exists somewhere, it's just not linked to your page. Which you may already know but I only worked that one out fairly recently.)

Idea 2, emails?

Idea 3 - if you know how to work them, one of those blog websites.

Waz (waiting for WW's civil disobedience)

he he! You lost me in the technology.... but hint taken on the demo! It's been a bad ww week so I could enjoy it. What on earth is a blog? Don't answer that I don't think I could cope! Taking a couple of days off to clear head and support the rest of the team. I realy did like your mountain climb...never heard of the place but hey ho never heard of Blogs either...Southern Spain? Sounds idyllic.

Have you seen the H2G2 writers group where they exchange writing by email and comment on each others work?
