I’m wondering if there is a matching Chester draws or dinning table…

I do give them credit for ‘borer’ though as it’s normally written as ‘bora’.

It's called a 'phew' because it is short, and not many people can fit on it. I thought 'borer' referred to woodworm.

What made me laugh was reading reviews for a 'freeze cream' for painful joints, arthritis etc. One said 'This has helped my artistic knees' 😅

@butterpuffed 😂

@CanadianJohn yes; borer is woodworm but frequently misspelled as bora. I don’t get your phew reference though - what am I missing?

short bench = not many people = few = phew

A homonym, I believe it is called, sort of a pun.

A church pew is a wooden seat, usually long, for lots of people to fit on to. Have I missed something? I thought the 'phew' was a mis-spelling for 'pew'. I must admit, I haven't read the small print - it's too small.
