I must admit, I see "serves four" on a packet and take that as a challenge

As my Dad would say - serves six, as long as four are dead and one isn't very hungry.

So you can drip-dry them on the dish drainer. Saves money on towels, washing powder etc.

A shop assistant at a local supermarket commented when i bought a tin of shoe polish that in her three years of working there i was the only customer she'd served who'd bought a tin of the stuff. Not only once she added,but twice. I complimented her on her memory ability and went away thinking how sad it is that not many folk polish their shoes these days.

I sometimes post what could be interpreted as sad stories by some on here. It is really just part of life in general and not really intended to engender sympathy. Everybody at some time has a sad story but more accepting of it perhaps than others.
