Bullbasket Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 25 minutes ago, bootneck said: why do they say Ears? As in "Ears, absolutely agree old chap" Probably because they're Old Etonians. If they'd have gone to Roedean it would probably be "OK Yar. One does like to have a nice hice". John. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I've noticed this about my elderly relatives. All in their 80s, retired for decades, yet all still stick to the weekend rules. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Why do women shoppers stop just outside the shop exit door for a chat and block said doorway? Why do women shoppers suddenly realise they have to pay for their goods after its all been put through the checkout till and they spend ages questioning the bill, and looking for their money? Why can't they be like men shoppers, get goods and have money, usually correct amount or nearly so, ready to hand over? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Why do people walk out of a shop door and then stop in the way? Also, why do some people get to the top of an escalator, step off and then stop and gawp about the place? Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
