Although no longer living in the UK we do have some small towns in WA which resemble English Villages.

There is one in particular near us called Distraction.

My wife drives me there every day: sometimes several times a day! :-|

Does she possess an extensile tongue? There's a whit of a chance she doesn't.

Wait for me while I get my dictionary, please.

Extensile is a word I've never come across before.

Got it - my dictionary says 'capable of extending' so I guess it's an exceedingly long tongue, then.

Does it roll out like a sticky fly paper does? (Remember them - I actually saw a couple this year in a coffee shop on the Isle of Wight.)
