I meant that technically, it had to be at least 40 years and 2 weeks ago 
15th February 1971 being the fateful day that we abandoned our cherished old money. 
It must have been before we gave up our proper money - certainly don’t remember this lunch being 52.5p!

Has Chambers been slipping in a few extra drops of the malt into the bedtime cocoa?
No more than usual…why?
Wrong thread, maybe?

Arrgh flashback moment.
Back when I was a sales rep in UK stopped for lunch at a Bernie on A30 up near Bracknell way.
Prawn Cocktail & Rump Steak.
Next day dying with the shots & cramps. Next day Doctor & sample. Next day quarantine with Salmonella.
Week later went past same Bernie - shut down
I may have been the cause of their demise
…or vice versa

Mrs P_F’s full service is well underway, nice tidy up for me.
Cant imagine that we went through 7 months of home horrors that would drive you
Oh wait. My bad…
Sorry
Things that have done really well through the COVID lockdowns:
- Manufacturers of cardboard for Amazon parcel deliveries
- My 3 chickens - they have laid 3 eggs a day for a year, through wind sun and rain, only now dropping to two/day ( not sure which one is not laying think it’s the Warren - the brown one).
- Anyone associated with Boris, political allies, old school friends etc etc. who convinced him to give them millions to waste on stuff.
As an aside, and to ensure there is absolutely no racist undertones to my chicken keeping, I must tell you that we have a black one, a brown one, and a white one. Not sure what more I can do to ensure chicken inclusivity.

I’m sure there’s a joke about Cocks in there somewhere…
I’ve been polite but 3, seriously?
We have about 40 depending whether Mrs P_F remembers to get the bits for the Sunday Chicken soup on our weekly shop.
We have a deal with a veggie wholesale co in the village. A tray of free range no drugs eggs for their “not suitable for resale” veg that would normally be binned.
This was Mondays throw away.
Mrs P_F has turned them into soups & juices for my bloody Mary’s for the next year.
Today was 4kg of Nectarines so ok for fresh fruit for a day or 30.
Gotta think big TB!

Unlike you lot in Poland with thousands of acres, we are somewhat limited for space on our small island, or I would have more - only downside point here is that they all have names! (Not my doing). At the start of the first lockdown I received a text message from a friend, who said “better put an armed guard on your chickens, can’t get eggs anywhere!”
I went to Krakow by coach in 2014, and was amazed by the size of Poland. Also amazed by the number of huge churches and synagogues - hundreds of them - think our choir and orchestra performed in two of them.
What a tremendous deal getting all those veg for a few eggs - I suppose in UK surplus veg is just thrown away.

So there’s your “cock” joke!
