Give me back my hour!
It’s bad enough having to contend with all these violent changes in my reckonings. First it was the money. I had to forgo my pounds, shillings and pence for the sterile world of dollars and cents. Apart from giving me the false impression that I had more money than I originally thought, it produced a new breed of obnoxious millionaires.
Then it was the weather. I can tell you right here and now that the weather has never been the same since the feisty fahrenheit was ousted by the cold-blooded celsius. How I miss the days when I could cheerfully call out to neighbours “A hundred degrees today” now I am reduced to the old standby “Hot enough for ya’?”. A lamentably common greeting. If you can suggest another, please do so.
No wonder I need a little sweet sherry sometimes ….
Spare a shilling for a glass of sweet sherry
