Iv just been on our local xmas market selling site and brought glass jars with hot chocolate marshmallow in side for little gifts
They are delivered free aswell
But I do just hate it when people call me Hon or hun moan over

[JanB]

Me too Saundra

Another one is hunny bun

[Workingman]

I know.... "Sir" or "Ma'am" are much more preferable, but up here we get "mate", "pal", "sither", "doll" or "our lass".

Refined, we are not.

[Kaz]

You're liable to get "Moi luvver" down here

[cromwell]

We also get "love" a lot which is OK but recently also "lovey".

[JoM]

We get love, mate, bab and cock so if you’re ever around here and get called that don’t take it as an insult

[Workingman]

If someone called a grumpy old git like me "bab" I'd be in pleats..... another local word for laughing me 'ead off.

But we do use 'love' all the time - men to men, women to women, men to women, women to men, stranger to stranger, oldies to young ones..... funny, though, the young 'uns don't use it back to the oldies.

And yet another phone call from the clinic in Aljustrel

The appointment for us that was re-scheduled for February is now next Tuesday

[meriad]

that's fab news Jan! (isn't it?)

[JanB]

Oh yes Ria. But a bit of a faff, as we'd sorted stuff out, but hey ho.

The original appointment was weeks ago, then they changed it for today, then they changed it for February.......and now its' next week.
