Now, here's a question

There was a geordie family staying in the same hotel as us on Lanzarote.

We heard them trying to ask the waiter for some sparkling wine and after a bit the waiter realised what they were asking for. "In zis country, we call it Cava, signeur"

Relieved that he spoke English, our friend from the north replied "Way aye man, we call it Prosecco in oor cuntry"

Sorry, slipped off topic a bit there......

As this thread has meandered a bit, thought I'd do a bit more - back to the garden though - cutting the grass, if you can keep your shoes  intact, do you keep cutting if it starts to rain? and, if you come across a snail, what do you do with it apart from putting it in the eating bucket?

when I used a push it yourself mower then i used to carry on if it wasn't too bad, now with electric I'd probably stop.

Btw I did see in a second hand shop a lawnmoor for sale! In geordie it sounds correct.

Do you mean see a snail as you approche it with the lawnmower?

no don't see snails when mowing, it's just that they and grass cutting were the subjects of the thread so I thought I'd ask two questions in one. Seriously wondering about making snails a small business venture - there are an awful lot of them in our garden

Well SteveL, I guess that Thrushes would be at the head of your customer queue. They certainly are in my garden.

This thread is going along at a snails pace

never thought of a bird restaurant, we certainly have a variety to tempt. The blackbirds enjoy snails but the pigeons would rather have peanuts
