Welcome back Skylark

 

Cowardy custard is a term used by children to taunt other children for being easily scared. It's a bit of a play on words as custard is yellow and calling someone yellow is accusing them of being a coward.

 

The term predates the Noel Coward revue. For instance in J M Barrie's original 1904 play "Peter Pan or the boy who would not grow up", Mr Darling at one point teases his wife with "Cowardy, cowardy custard".

Ah, I didn't remember the Peter Pan reference but guessed about the yellow/custard/coward connection.

Oh that's charming EL, Mr Darling teasing his wife   As kids I remember the boys calling each yellow belly too, same thing I suppose.

You are brave Yogi 

Sounds lovely Yogi 

What Yogi says 

The largest custard cream in the world, certified by Guinness World Records, was created in November 2010, by amateur biscuit master Simon Morgan and chef supremo Paul Thacker, at Chino Latino's restaurant in Park Plaza, Nottingham and was aucioned off for Children in Need.

 what a whopper. That would keep me going for ten or fifteen minutes 

Thanks El and Summer. Good evening Moonie x
As said i am on laptop, terrible signal, plus we got leaflet saying work in the area for 4g, which interferes with freeview too. So i sigh !

Skylark, the phone companies who are implementing 4g across the country will have to arrange that for any televisions with Freeview which are affected by the 4g signals the householders will have filters fitted for them to stop the interference. It is the phone companies which will have to carry the cost of this - the householders won't have to pay anything.

There's a company set up to deal with this. They've got a website with info on it.

 It is so frustrating when your internet is playing up. Did they give you any idea how long they will be working on it?

Edit: oops, it's your freeview that is being affected by the 4G work?

 

I want custard creams now. I blame you and Summer.

That site does say "We are sending postcards to all households in areas that may experience disruption to their Freeview due to 4G at 800 MHz. The large majority of people who receive a postcard will not notice any difference in their Freeview services once 4G at 800 MHz is launched. If you live in an area we believe is more likely to experience disruption, we will send you a free filter in advance of masts being switched on as well"

 

Thanks El, sorry to come back moaning but sick of this technology . Yes Yogi freeview and telly in general pixalated . I have 4 tellys  . 

They may be telling fibs.....

Ooh migraine flashing zigzags,haven't had one of those for ages, see you all tomorrow.

So have I.

 

Did they tell you when the work will be finished?

No x

Oh, I had a few of them about 10 years ago, they were really weird. Hope it goes off soon, Squiggle.

 Useless toads!

 Probably.

Are you watching Corrie? Dastardly David has struck again.

Will bid you all goodnight. Hope you are well in the morning squiggle. Take care everyone. Thanks for welcome back 

I'm back.

I know what you mean about Emmerdale's Rhona storyline. None of it rings true.

Goodnight Skylark, sleep well and come back soon!

 No Summer or Moonie?

evening *night owls* Oh noooooo, Squiggle! I hope you had some medication to take as soon as possible, and that the aftermath of your migraine isn't too painful. You poor thing I've only ever had 2, and they are horrid. Mr summer suffers terrible with them and is currently on preventative medication to combat them.

Brb! Bus!!!!

 I hope you catch it.

I did I did! I told a story with my smileys too How was your day yogi? Lovely to see skylarks happy little avatar come home I hope her connection isn't disrupted for long, 4G seems to be causing a stir doesn't it. I wonder if that's why I've been losing 3G a lot lately. Where's moonie?
