| Not the Prince George |
Only to this story! Heck people, Prince G is not irrelevant! Nothing shakes your world like the arrival of your First Born, Prince of the Realm or not.
This post is about a George - Saint George.
Or, actually - not.
But it is about my world being shaken, so you may want to take a moment to prepare.
Deep breath and ... ready?
I am going to take you back in time to April (imagine wibbly fuzzy lines) - April 23rd to be precise, for that is St George's Day. He of Dragon Slaying Fame.
.
This is also fairly irrelevant, but that seems to be the way this post is going.
So...St George's Day and Mr W is celebrating the Patron Saint of England's Designated Day by spending the evening with some friends in a local pub. Here the Publicans mark this auspicious occasion (St G's day, not Mr W and his friends visiting) by providing their clientele with free sausage and mash.
As in no money changing hands whatsoever.
Awesome.
Presumably they feel this is traditional English Fare - although sausage is for-surely German (although possibly not - I did start a Google search but got side-tracked looking at pics of celebs before they were famous). Potatoes, I am almost entirely fairly sure, originally came from South America.

But it matters not** and indeed back to the point ...
"That'll be good", I said to Mr W as he was getting ready, "Sausage and Mash - yummers!"
"Yeah," said Mr W, "except I really do not like mash".
!?!?!? What?!? Que?!?!? Was?!!?!
*Quite the linguist when in shock. I thank you :o)*
Since when?!?
17 years we have been together. 17 years!
In that time I have mastered cups of tea just how he likes them (or so I thought), grown to love watching football (now I wonder if I was misguided), and cooked his favourite meals countless times ... including...
Sausage and Mash.
Oh, only about a kersquillion times.
What other bombshells, I wonder, does he have up his sleeve?
(I may be mixing my metaphors there).
I shudder to think.
Reeling, dear reader ... still reeling ...
** Especially as it seems Saint George may well be Turkish :o)
I think I that is an automatic annulment. .in fact I am sure of it. These things should be declared ... 'does anyone know of any lawful reason...' he should have spoken up. However I would keep him as he is very useful and quite amusing.
ReplyDeleteI agree emmalewis! Should have spoken up or ... 'forever held his peace', as I think the next bit goes. But you are quite right - he is very useful and amusing, so I will hang in there a wee while longer xxx
