what ever he does shout its definatly non English.

the thing that really dissapoints me is that he's got a flat bed wagon, not a horse and cart, also he is a tramp but not steptoe esque enough for me

Our local scrap man still has a horse and cart (No really he does)

Was he a steam man? (bit of a steam buff myself)

 

[breezer]

well he smoked a bit (when they cremated him)

he started off as a "fire man" and when diesels came in he went to those.

I once asked my girlfriend (she's Spanish and was still quite new here) if she fancied a curry. So I took her to Currys


It took her ages to twig, "ooh it's a big restaurant she said". I replied "yeh, they also sell electrical goods but the main eating area is at the back"
