GJ, I visited my 86 year old aunt up the rd from you tonight, she was disappointed that no-one came round last night. She did, however, tell me that she gave a quid to the 'penny for the guyer's' outside her local shops and they asked her if she would like some change, bless 'em

Oh you're not much older than me, and I certainly did, around your way, with many others, all with 'turnip' (now called swede!) lanterns

It's always been a swede down south. Me and Mr Woo have had endless rows about it. A turnip is a turnip a swede is a swede. My dad was a greengrocer. I know my onions.

Weird isn't it? I remeber holding a turnip in one hand and a swede in the other. I asked how could they both possibly be turnips. Mr Woo told me that one was a turnip and the other a turnip swede.
