In the US and Canada, just say I'll wake you in the morning or I'll give you a call in the morning.

The knocker upper was a common sight, with his long pole to tap on bedroom windows and wake up people to start their early morning shift.

I used to hear his clogs on the cobbles on the road as he hurried down the street when I was a small child.

From their reply Genes do it seems Dermot....so it must depend if a shrinking violet is on duty that day or a numpty head....

:-D

Intriguing. Who decides if a word is 'rude' or otherwise?

Oh as I typed that it was restored and my memory was wrong

If memory serves me right it literally said have a nice hump day...it's a proper term not rude/offensive unless you're always looking for problems where they don't exist.

If I was a vain person I'd say someone was out to get me...but then I'm not at school in the playground any more...but some are

I didn't see the first post, but the rest of it isn't at all offensive!! :-) :-)

So will this get pulled today I wonder as it's so offensive

Rollo funny you should mention Betty Boop....I saw a car today covered in Betty Boop pictures with a personalised plate for UBETTY....... :-)

Nice one Kense...typical Allan :-D :-D

Kense! :-D :-D

Allan :-S

Sorry folks I was away from the computer for a while and in my absence, I see someone RR this too.....bet Genes just delete it too....sad someone is so upset by Hump day

That's funny, Maggie!
Actually gt. gran Dorothy was an illegitimate child. My dear departed mother would have been horrified to know that her grandmother was illegitimate, heaven forbid!
It's left a big hole in my tree 'cause I will never know who her father was.

Brilliant definition, Margaret! :-D

..how come your great grandmother looks elegant, my gg granny (similar era) looks like someone's removed her beer glass to take the photo!!




(it's actually gg grandad's hand - probably propping her up!)

hump day

The middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week.

After hump day, the weekend gets closer.

Oh! So somebody HAS got the hump then!!
