Stocking Fillers You Might Be Interested In.

I don't know why these posh retailers contact me. I truly don't have the proverbial pot to micturate in. ☺

Bit of a difference to the stocking fillers we had as kids e.g. a tangerine wrapped in silver paper and a sixpence.

[sandyRoe]

You got a silver sixpence? You were well off. We got a polished farthing ;-)

Awww Sandy xxx
It was actually a silver threepenny I suppose. Only millionaires kids got sixpences !

[Peter Pedant]

they contact you because you talk posh Sandy

and they cast their net wide: Boris' father was asked what he wanted for x mas. Not a polished farden for him. Birds eye maple bureau plat - £19k.
Looked nice tho

poor guy got joshed sumtin awful

[sandyRoe]

For a gift worth 19K I'd be prepared to put up with a bit of joshing, too

[Svejk]

I think that £400 hat did for you, sandy.

Perhaps these are meant for people hopelessly addicted to smoking, who also have money to burn.

[janbee]

I'll buy you one for your Christmas Sandy. It'll all add to your Noel Cowerd persona.

^^^ COWARD!

... and Peter, and Svejk and Mikey. Can't leave you boys out.

I can't imagine even the smallest bit of Noel Coward in me. Now, if you'd mentioned Private Godfrey from Dad's Army I would have had to agree. I think I'm morphing into him. ☺

No-one wrapped my mandarin orange in silver paper! There was no nutcracker for the nuts either! (Mind you, I did the same for my kids - goodness knows what their friends unwrapped!)

silver paper ? tinfoil surely.
