no, i doubt anyone in the village'd want to see that re-run!

- but how can syrup of figs go off - without its fermenting - ?

- it's like the insanity of having a "best-before date" on air-
tight bottles of still water and on sealed tins of surstromming...

- 's ok; no apologies necessary: it's nice to see a carefully
calculated straight-line picked up and, ah, a dash cut with it.

- yes, but - they have to be present, and alive, within the
lorry-load of syrup first; or gain, or be provided with entry
to it. <fx: sudden suspicion>: was somewig perchance attempt-
ing to brew - on a fairly massive scale?

- a _long_ time before;

>would be fair. (_I_ like it, but I _would_.)

- because it comes clad in armour? or because the armour is
effectively easy-opening - and spring-loaded? [a]

- love, a ppint. as hopes little grey ghost will be
back on the road before the end of this month...
