    Well, I do take my teacakes very seriously :)

    No worries. Maybe you should come to Cov and Sarah and I will buy you a batch... not a batch of teacakes, just a batch... which is one bread roll :)

    To send someone to Coventry is a British phrase meaning to ostracise somebody,specifically to not talk to them.It was sometimes used as a way of punishing people who,for example,would not join a strike in a factory for better pay and conditions. Sometimes children use it as a way of bullying others


    well there you go :)

    Anyone watch Gavin and Stacey? Very funny programme but I laugh my arse off every time Nessa says 'Wos occurin'?' It's fab.
