    5. Update: Aunt Judith's new neighbour is called Tarquin Duff. He has 2 uncles and 4 aunts.

      Delete
    6. For your information, Tarquin has 3 uncles. I bet you forgot Chippy! Don't we all!!

      Delete
    7. Tarquin himself made the mistake, Irene. I only related the information passed on to me. I was very annoyed and challenged Tarquin about misleading me. I told him neighbours must trust each other, and I did not want to have to leave the area after 18 years during which time no-one had given me fake news about their aunts and uncles. Tarquin felt guilty and admitted he had deliberately lied about the uncle called Chippy and I am now able to reveal why.
      Tarquin has NEVER met this uncle and only became aware of his existence on the demise of his (Tarquin's) grandmother Lucille Shane.
      Chippy (real name Ernest) was cut off by his family after being arrested for the theft of a Fabergé egg from the Grand Palais des Chefs d'Oeuvre in Nantes. He was imprisoned for eight years in that city and upon release made his way through Spain to Tangier where he has led the life of a dissolute vagrant ever since.
      Tarquin's aunt Thelma sought Chippy out during a trip on the Enchantment of Liguria cruise liner but was treated with disdain and threatened with being sold into slavery.
      A cautionary tale.
      I felt I had to forgive Tarquin his deception although I am punctilious in my rule that avuncular information must always be accurate.

    I knew Archie was from Islay. We used to visit relatives around the same time in Bowmore and Bridgend.

    According to my Aunty Isobel, a drell is something to do with fishing. It's a bit of metal you tie to the lìne that makes à whistling sound.

    Maybe that's where Archie got the name for his backing singers.

    4. Hello everyone. Harguflend here! Sorry I haven't been reaching out to you recently but I have the most exciting news about my last few months travelling. Sir John Redwind MP's ex-wife Gloria asked me to accompany her on a tour of badge-making companies in England and Wales. Those of you who know me can understand that I leaped at the chance. Wow! Badge factories!! Double wow!!! We started off in Sandbach up in Cheshire - it took forever and a day to get there! What a distance. More to follow about that particular episode... From Sandbach we went to a place called Billingham which appears to be in the north-east. And we thought Sandbach was bad! Finally we arrived in Colchester which at least isn't too far away, but sadly mediocre. Of course, the great Mr Redwish MP had lots to say about
