The wife was trying to get something out of the cabinet under the sink. Somehow she fell, landing on her rump. Boy did she have a weird (funny) expression on her face. Funny noise too, a sort of oomph as she hit the floor. But it is a concrete floor though. He he he. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Hi Ruth It has nothing to do with scrumpy, it means pinching them without permission lol if we got caught we got a telling off, thats all, not like today where they would probably end up in court, I have to add that I NEVER got caught.

Scrumpy is a Cornish cider, made from apples and really strong. It tastes like apple juice, but if you can still walk after 3 pints, you are a better man than me Gunga Din. I love the stuff, just like drinking mashed strong tasting apples. Hey Peter - who says Scrumpy is Cornish? Have you never heard of Taunton Cider and "Coates comes up from Zummerzet"?

I used to go scrumping too as a child but we also went around the hedges of the orchard to get blackberries to go in the pie with the apples - delicious. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
