Simply Great!
What a perfect follow on from your first piece Dave. As always the words you have choosen seem to fit english society, and more than anything made me laugh. You olso brought up memories of my nan and her 'fisherman's freinds' ...damn awful sweets they were! My favourite line was 'kiss me quick' amongst others, very london! and quite excellent!

Thanks Debs
You're dead right about Fishermens Freinds, they're are disgusting!! God knows you'd need to be sat in a boat in the middle of nowhere to eat them, or risk losing your freinds!!Lol
Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment,

hey dave...
Im kind of getting the hang of this "english" thing youre doing. i liked this one too. it reminds me of an assignment we used to have in school...kind of like when they asked us "tomato is to red...as blueberries are to...." and we had to pick from 4 words.... and... {"blue" wasn't one of the answers}
they tried to trick us...and they always tricked me...LOL
Nice, nice writing. very creative.
