      It was really disappointing to learn that the Mitchell "Manor" artwork has been lost.

      One overhearing the very conversation could only surmise that the certain trader concerned really wasn't too interested in attempting to find

    Peter Denny had a box called 'Gadgets' - and following in his footsteps I've now got one. However I don't know what some of mine do.

      Nothing worse than not knowing what your gadgets are for.

      That's why they're called "wuzzitfors".

    I blame Spams! He's been round during the night and painted all the gardens green! But typical - he's missed a bit!
