And, as I am in a magnanimous mood (half a bottle's worth) I will reveal a closely guarded secret: Norman French is remarkably like common or garden french, only without the accents and circonflexes. Lot of fuss about nothing, if you ask me! OC |

When I made a short visit to Cornwall at Christmas (don't ask!)....I saw someone collecting wool from barbed wire fences, muttering, ''must get those settlement certificates and court-leet papers this week''....I don't know who it was, but they had a book hanging out of their bag entitled, ''Learn Norman French in Three Weeks''. Any ideas???? Merry |

Merry and Heather You certainly know how to fight dirty, don't you? Still havent even STARTED on the Big Clean Up - its toooo hoooot, she whines. And how could you possibly think I would find time or inclination to MAKE a feather duster, even if it is made out of lamb's wool??? OC |

Is it going to be a twist like Big Bro and the prize will be staying with O.C. for the next three days cleaning the house from top to bottom in expectation of the arrival of super housewife friend? |

OC - How did you know that???? As you have caught me out, I will now hastily take it out of it's wrapper (has a price sticker marked 1s 3d on it!) and cut it into two....then stitch it into two multi-purpose glove/sock style dusters. She'll never realise it was almost an antique! (If you don't mention it, that is.............) Merry |

11 is my best; the one family I have with 12 kids never, as far as I've managed to find, had more than 8 around at once. |

Match the 10 children plus Mum and Dad a couple of times but cannot beat it. |
