While you people are busy flogging the flag issue, I'm busy enjoying brilliant sunshine and 22 degrees. In fact I'm enjoying it so much, I might traipse o'er the field and imbibe a wobbly-pop or five.
I have heard that the Benso family came across to Toronto in the 1st World War and were famous for setting up knicker (US = panties) washing laundries....
It's not "boozing", wolf63. I have been called to the bar in order to imbibe a few libations with my illustrious cohorts. Here is the cast in that movie I mentioned:
Eileen Brennan
Truman Capote
James Coco
Peter Falk
Alec Guinness
Elsa Lanchester
David Niven
Peter Sellers
Maggie Smith
Nancy Walker
Estelle Winwood
Maggie Smith is the greatest. I don't know if the TV series Downton Abbey has been shown in Canada, but if it is you must not miss Dame Maggie as the redoubtable dowager countess.
and I think BensonMum was played by Sir Alec Guiness before he got rich ( Lucas couldnt afford to pay him for thingey and so assigned him 1% of the profits from star wars )
