Truly, there is no chance that I am pregnant but I don't half fancy a lettuce sandwich.

Shame I haven't got any lettuce.

A guy walks into a café that advertises "Any sandwich you can think of!"
so he asks for an elephant sandwich.

A short while later the café assistant says, "Sorry, sir, we can't do the elephant sandwich for you."

"Ha!" roars the customer, "I suppose that you'll tell me that you've run out of elephants"

"Not at all, sir," replied the waiter, "We've run out of bread"

I'm having a tomato sandwich. It'll do but you can't beat the real thing.

My Dad liked lettuce sandwiches but had to have sugar on the lettuce!

Haven't you grown your own lettuce, Sharron?

You know why the French call dandelions 'Pissenlit' don't you?

As a little one we called them wet the beds in London (polite version) :-D :-D.

The French also call Dandelions 'Dent de Lion', (lion's teeth)
It just sounds like a little tune when said fast :-D

We called them 'Piss-a-bed' when young. (literal translation of 'Pissenlit')

I really fancied a "bacon buttie" for lunch on Monday


Lucky wasn't it?

We had bought some bacon at the butcher's on Saturday, and it was in the fridge waiting for me to package it for freezing, and OH had bought me one of those long French loaves in the grocery shopping that he did on Friday :-D :-D :-D :-D

I really don't want to know about bacon butties after all the aggro they have caused e lately!

Never did get my lettuce sandwich. Don't want one now anyway!

Allan Report 8 Sep 2016 11:28

How about lettuce and bacon butties, Sharron?

The only time I've had a lettuce sarnie was at a friends 7th birthday party. I loved 'em!

Having eaten all that were available, I asked if I could have some more.
(cross between Miss Piggy and Oliver Twist)

Her Dad kept saying "Let us what?"
(Did I forget to say 'Please'?)

Repeat the request with Please added at the beginning and end of the sentence. (A 7 year old can't have to many Pleases)
This goes on for some time until her mother intervenes.

Funny how some things stick in your mind ;-)
