Goodness gracious me

They did a 'Gardening for Asians' sketch were a Charlie Dipak paved over a lawn. A conversation with my neighbour tonight reminded me of it.

He was complaining about weeds coming over the fence into his garden. When I asked him to show me what he meant he pointed at the ivy!

Spending 3-4 months in India each year, I've become a big fan of Indian humour.
Regardless of their religion (Catholics, Hindus, Muslims or Sikhs) they have a very subtle and unique form of irony and self-deprecation.

It didn't take them long to call me Dev, which I consider to be a compliment and not take offence at being the subject of their joke.

When I play along with my friends with my form of irony, one (and he's called Devish) says now you're just being Devious, Devilish or Devastating, depending on the context. 😁

Lovely people with a lovely nature. 🙏

Well you are from Devon....

Ivy is a weed here in Melbourne Down Unda!

I would have liked that if it was true, but I'm Essex through-and-through. 😉
My Essex-born mother (after she devorced my Essex-born father) moved to Exeter and lived there 25+ years. I did like the city/county and developed a fond liking for that part of the south-west.

One of my neighbours has now extended his house over his entire back garden. There isn't one anymore!
