I just went for a stroll down to the shops, pick up some dry cleaning and one or two other things ...
Things haven't changed that much in 250 years
I wanted some dried coconut so nipped into Morrisons. Rather than search I thought I'd ask:
"D'you have dried coconut?"
"Decaffeinated?"
That's a new one on me I thought.
I follow Man Mountain on his instruction ~ well, he's built like Frank Bruno with the same colouring. We find it on the shelf...
"Ah, dessicated coconut!" I say.
"Uh, yes. i was thinkin' of that but the wrong word came out!" He laughed like Frank as well
