These are great!

I inwardly wince when people call lunch 'dinner' and dinner 'tea'.

We go camping, but I hate it and am like Margo from the Good Life about the whole 'roughing it' thing.

This is about the only thread I've got the energy to read right now and I'm loving it.

Er....
ds has only ever had organic food
I have hatwoman's aversion to labels
Wouldn't touch instant coffee
We have several pots of home-grown organic basil on the kitchen windowsill
er...
that's it. Ponce factor 6?

bundle · 25/01/2007 10:08

My parents have a 'summer house'. (Dh insists on calling it their shed)

Lizzylou · 25/01/2007 10:14

NP, I am struggling to stop my DS picking up a northern accent and he is always complimented on how "posh" he sounds.

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 10:15

I let my daughters speak how they please.

Because I know, when they go to America, no one's going to give a flying £"$%, all they'll hear is 'Scottish accent' and they'll have the men queued up just on that alone.

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 10:18

'summer house'.

is that like 'holiday home'.

why don't people just call it their 'other house'.

my dad's got three of them.

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 10:18

I am seriously considering privateely educating my DD.

I don't drink tea/coffee, only organic peppermint tea

suzycreamcheese · 25/01/2007 10:18

its not butter its lurpak

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 10:20

Lurpak is suspect because IME it goes melty faster than Graham's, a local brand we buy.

Lurpak is imported.

Say NO to excessive food miles!

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 10:21

lol @ expat's misunderstanding

Summerhouse is another word for a glazed shed !

Anchovy · 25/01/2007 10:22

When DS was nearly 3 and at his tantrummingly irrational best, we were on holiday in Norfolk (which presumably has a ponce-ability rating itself) and I told DS we needed to go to the supermarket. He burst into tears in the entrance to - gulp - Safeway and started whimpering "I thought you said we were going to Waitrose". (The ponce-ometer rises).

And I told that story to the Chairman of WAitrose over dinner (Ping - the ponce-ometer hits the bell at the top).

suzycreamcheese · 25/01/2007 10:22

i buy hand roasted coffee beans from the man who does it himself..

instant coffee is just pure vile drain sludge in granule form

earl grey w/ lemon
organic peppermint tea
redbush
fairtrade clipper for normal

TinyGang · 25/01/2007 10:22

Lol Expat. No not another home - a little wooden shed in their garden where they have a cup of tea! My mum call it her Summer house and dh takes the piss mercilessly

suzycreamcheese · 25/01/2007 10:23

expat..
naw..its lurpak OKAY??

Loshad · 25/01/2007 10:28

I had a simply super session with my dressage trainer yesterday (who also trains a British team member of course [snurk emoticon]) using my Albion Saddle,

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 10:29

Oh, it's a gazebo!

Those are cool.

Say NO to excessive food miles! Go local!

nailpolish · 25/01/2007 10:30

expat, i would too if i lived in Edinburgh, but my dd's are in serious trouble if the develop a dundonian accent

Lizzylou · 25/01/2007 10:30

I make my own chestnut stuffing at Christmas with fresh chestnuts and spend blooming ages peeling them.

Not poncey just a waste of time and effort (and wrecks your hands)
