Me, I'm always trying to imagine what the person on the other end is saying... once, I assumed someone walking behind me in town was talking to me, so I turned round and answered... only to get a startled look from a stranger on a mobile.Katherine Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196712319655603442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-89330010262861954922017-04-26T09:43:24.560+01:002017-04-26T09:43:24.560+01:00Dunno where my comment went, Sue.

I thought he meant people were stuffing fried potatoes into their pockets and imagined hot grease running down their legs.<br /><br />Looking forward to your next, Bill - and yes, Karen, a habit of eavesdropping does tend to make you keep silent - if only the better to hear what the people behind you are saying.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-88938535383295370832017-04-25T13:38:55.232+01:002017-04-25T13:38:55.232+01:00Blimey.

Am left with glorious images of a conscientiously fecund cat - alas, fecund no more - people stuffing their pockets with chips (with or without salt and vinegar) and the sublime mental arithmetic abilities of a far from conscientious yet distressingly fecund human. ROFL as I'm sure Joe Orton would have said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-33526587887911049852017-04-25T10:43:29.565+01:002017-04-25T10:43:29.565+01:00Loved it, Susan.

I'm grateful, though, for the challenge you set. I've been casting around for a topic for my next contribution here and now I have one. Thanks for that, and for the laughs.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.com
