Isn't there an over abundance of mistletoe this year that farmers can't be bothered with harvesting it as it no longer gets much per ton?

I prefer no body contact but will accept a handshake and the occasional hug from close friends or when it is socially required.Most of my relatives are Japanese - we make do with a polite bow for both sexes - definitely no body contact!
5-Live news-person was delighted the other day, as a lorry carrying a lot of sheds spilt them on the carriageway, hence there was a shed load of a shedload of sheds. blocking the road.OT, but you've done there the opposite of what the morning newsreader does on Look North.
A shed load is what comes off a lorry in an accident, A shedload is lots... While mistletoe could be a shed load, I suppose, I guess you mean lots.
She always announces a 'shedload' of bricks or whatever...
They're selling Grundies in the Archers now?Oh is there? I dunno, I only hear about it in terms of how much the Grundies are selling in The Archers....
Always consider this kissing thing on one cheek then the other a load of old bollyhocks. On a rare occasion I kiss a female cheek I always leave it at one side; amuses me if they are a luvvy dahling type and immediately present the opposite cheek while I have pulled away job done and finished. No issues with good handshakes; I even quite like the sincerity of using the second hand as well to hold the wrist or arm; but only when it is meant as hever so sincere. Other than that, I find "Hello,' does quite well enough. I'm not a man hugging type, never have been and doubt I will ever be. Been told I need to get in touch with my feminine side to appreciate the virtues of 'fondness' with same sex greetings. I'll say the same here as I do when it is said. "You can pi55 right off.' I don't have a feminine side …. now where are my high heels?
Since the childhood trauma of receiving tea-flavoured, wet, whiskery kisses from an elderly rellie I'm much more of a handshake and hug kind of girl. I'm also at that kind of age where I'm a bit whiskery and starting to smell of tea...
I might make an exception for you, richI'm insisting on a kiss when we meet Bagster!
If I don't shave we might stick together like velcro.
