I'll be in the loo, if anyone needs me.........................

Whatever Diana Rigg and Vivien Leigh say is alright with me. And in the words of Benny Hill: "That cat just has one eye, and on that it has a sty, He said that cat ain't coming in its going out!!" Bly me!! I like this thread.

Such as Windshield Whipers... I mean, wishy-washies? Lol...

Dunno what it's like now, but I lived in Britain for 17 years, and if someone used a term like that and was heard in a public place...they'd get the shit kicked out of them pretty quick.

Yeah, wherever you read that...no. Barking up the wrong tree there. lol

Let bragart England in disdain,
Ha'd ilka lingo, but her ain:
Her ain, we wat, say what she can,
Is like her true-born Englishman,
A vile promiscuous mungrel seed
O' Danish, Dutch an' Norman breed,
An' prostituted since, to a'
The jargons on this earthly ba'!

OMG this might be off topic, but bangers and mash(sausage and mash potatoes) is awesome!
