The route to my mother's takes us on to the A249. A place called Hucking is signposted. The children used to discuss Hucking for the rest of the journey. "Grandma, have you been to Hucking?" Was a great favourite Grin.

What the huck is going on here?!

You can't be mad when saying the word Bubbles.

Skedaddle or Galavant - I use those alot

Aluminium is my favourite word to write in cursive, you can do the whole thing in one go and it's very satisfying.

RabbitsRock · 28/12/2024 18:24

Definitely Bollocks! So satisfying!

Haberdashery

Before I moved, I worked in a department store with a haberdashery. For me a perk was being able to say this out loud! “Do you take cash?” “Yes but only on the haberdashery till” 😂
