If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair.
--Samuel Johnson

"I like pickled onions, I like piccalilli,
Pickled cabbage is all right with a bit of cold meat on a
Sunday night,
I can go tomatoes, but what I do prefer
Is a little bit of cucum, cucum, cucum, little bit of
cucumber."

Song by Harry Champion - Lyrics T. Connor

wastedpapiers>>>I love all those old music hall greats especially Marie Lloyd and this one in particular:
"she sits among her cabbages and peas"
Well I never!!
