All the news surrounding pirates got me thinking about my great great auntie Penn, back in the 1870's she reportedly had a bakery on the cornish coast and she was a mean businesss woman who everyone respected. It was the days when you would barter for everything but was a little confusing! "what did i get for those eggs" anyway she decided to draw up a list and being a baker related it to her business.
it was known locally as the pie rates of penns aunt Which if you haven't guessed already was turned into an opera Gilbert & Sullivan: The Pirates Of Penzance. |

The paradoxical odyssey of a mind in abandonment may yield a modicum of grammatical mistakes..........

YUP. You hit the nail right on the head Joe. They had rulers too when you didn't 'get it' and mean eyes. And they always smelled like starched linen. Oh, man you just brought back so many memories. If that weren't bad enough I went on to send my kids to Catholic school. I wanted them to have memories too, ya know. ;) |
