[HowardKennitby]

Are you related to Woodelf?

[pusskin]

No --why? is he as stupid as me then? (not googling) lol

I spotted a recipe out of the paper and want to give it a try.

[HowardKennitby]

No

It was something you wrote that, up until a few days ago, only he had written here.

[pusskin]

really? sounds interesting, what was that then? Never spoke to Woodelf

[HowardKennitby]

I'm in the south and although I wouldn't say it is an everyday phrase it is used quite widely.

[pusskin]

Woodelf sounds a lovely person, but still cant see what ta muchly makes me seem connected to him.

[pusskin]

Thanks eccles. I use it when writing a letter to thank someone on accasions but not in every day talk. I dont say it over the phone.
hope Ed doesnt chase me for chatting in food and drink !!!!
