Are you sure about that, Ming!! :lol:

I'm sure you'll manage!

England have been playing cricket in Bangladesh and I read with amusement a much-travelled journalist's account of Dhaka. I know you like numbers so:-
1. It was the most oppressive heat and humidity he had ever seen on a cricket field.
2. The air pollution was the worst he'd ever come across.
3. The traffic congestion was worse than anywhere else in the world.

I can't wait to book my next holiday! :lol:

1) More like a warring brother and sister - maybe more like Philip and Dinah, rather than Fatty and Bets!
2) I'd never ditch JC, but I'm sure we could come to a compromise!
3) Touché! However, it is said that you shouldn't uproot an old plant.
4) No need. I like washing up, in fact I have 40 years experience of it. I've never had a dishwasher.

It was Nigel that started the numbers trend!

1) Heat? He hasn't seen anything yet! The heat and humidity is just beginning. Wait till June. And did he mention the blackouts? :roll:
2) Air pollution - well in the middle of Dhaka it IS horrible, not where I live though.
3) If he thinks our traffic congestion is bad, then he'll find Calcutta a nightmare!

In all fairness I should have added that he said despite the extreme poverty he thought that the people were some of the nicest and friendliest he had ever met.

I bet that you have air-conditioning anyway, Mingster! :lol:

You're right about the air-conditioning! But I too agree about how the people really are amazing. :D

I agree about India, I have been in several large cities myself and never mind the traffic, it is almost impossible to move around on foot as there are so many people in the streets! :roll:

Well, you may be no nearer to getting a DVD of the Enid Blyton Day, Pete, but you've been the catalyst for a most entertaining thread! :lol:

It's lovely to see a youngster with such good manners. Help yourself to a piece of shortbread from the tin, young Pete, but mind you wipe your feet before going into my nice clean kitchen!

Have you considered a career in dishwashing? Perhaps you could start a mail order service? Clean plates by return post? After 20 years I still hate washing up as much as I did when I first got married. Even though I've had a dishwasher for several years now, I seem to have spent most of this afternoon washing up all the things that aren't suitable for it, and there's still more to do!

What a waste of time, I could have been finishing the Mystery of Tally-ho cottage. I think I've guessed the ending, but don't want to cheat and look in case I've got it wrong and spoil it.
