I suppose you can see how that might make sense to people who’ve not seen a mad March hare!

Spotted on another thread after a poster had a good idea to minimise conflict over different soaps OP said
you should work in the diplomatic core.

I saw that one too. If it were "Crousette" it would be feminine, too, so La Crousette!

Whosthetabbynow · 15/06/2026 14:13

Wasn’t Crousette the young child in Les Mis? 😂

That's Cosette. Well known for her iron-mongery skills Grin

Whosthetabbynow · 15/06/2026 14:46

@SchnizelVonKrumm It is indeed. 👍

I did hear someone on a podcast talking about 'Le Crousier' pans.

Someone’s DH’s business is making barley any money. Do you think he’s a farmer?

Maybe he runs a brewery.
