Really made me laugh
« on: February 24, 2012, 12:44:01 »
As I was leaving the allotments this morning one of our plot holders opened the  gate for me.  He looked at me, smiled, and told me that I  looked "nice and fluffy" and my hair suited me and "softened my face".  Then he told me I was "still very beddable!"

He is 84.

I was laughing all the way home.  ;D

Betty, how scandalous!   ;D
I am starting to think that "hotbed" is not just a gardening term!  A lady on my plot (who is retired and, well, I must be honest that she's hardly Raquel Welch and although a nice lady, she'll never see 20 again!) told me the other day "oh and watch out for [name_withheld]. When I moved plots next him, I wasn't there a week before he kept coming to my shed and saying, "well, when are we going to bed together?" "
I did try to keep a straight face and look shocked! I wasn't aware that allotments were such dens of iniquity!

Still, at 84, your chap hasn't lost his way with words!

Did Mr Squash laugh too? My OH would laugh his socks off but then I do the same when people who used to work at the same place say what how dishy he is. He would make Worsel Gummidge look like a cat walk model.

Mr Squash certainly did laugh when I told him!

Your dad sounds just like this man, and I'm sure, like him, he does it in such a way that people don't get offended.

I did enjoy the moment, but my days of being young are long since gone.  ;)

On the plots in Northern Ireland three plots down was a fella who was married with kids who used to bring a lady freind down to the plots and spend a lot of time in the shed with the doors closed!!

Must be all the fresh air and exercise!
