His advice for longevity...."cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women — and a good sense of humour" <br /><br />Btw, Happy Friendship Friday! Stop by to meet our friend, Victoria! <br /><br />Many Blessings....<br /><br />Roxanne and Hugo <br />Believe AchieveBelieve Achieve - Hugo and Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410323217936995092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-3164816354759067242009-06-26T09:46:42.919+01:002009-06-26T09:46:42.919+01:00Hi Dan and Deanna ..

I was surprised when slob came up as a name for mud flats.<br /><br />I'm going to get his book for my uncle so we can actually see his world - should be extremely informative on those times. He was quite clever having worked his way up in his engineering world, despite no qualifications. War teaches you to manipulate things and develop ideas - our house was full off lots of bits and bobs - always there to be used, when required.<br /><br />Thanks for thinking back over 100 years .. an amazing world.<br /><br />All the best - Hilary Melton-Butcher<br />Positive LettersHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-76932398353175761792009-06-26T07:54:06.344+01:002009-06-26T07:54:06.344+01:00Hi Tess .. how surprising ..

We called the cat that as well - poor Boot .. which is better Boot or Slob??!!<br /><br />Yes - Mr Allingham is really still quite lucid; I think he probably was in sheltered housing first .. before the move to St Dunstan's<br /><br />Thanks for the comment, just prefer Tess I think!<br />All the best and I hope this week goes peacefully, bringing lots of happy memories for you all - without too much sadness.<br /><br />Hilary Melton-Butcher<br />Positive LettersHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-30904933833446444382009-06-26T06:58:44.716+01:002009-06-26T06:58:44.716+01:00Hi Hilary,
Your discovery of where the word slob ...Hi Hilary,<br /><br />Your discovery of where the word slob originated was very informative! When we were children we called each other slobs also.<br /><br />The story about Mr Allingham was really quite fascinating! It would be interesting to see thru his eyes.....the changes that have happened in the world during his time. <br /><br />Thank you for the intersting post!<br /><br />Pete Baca<br />The Car Enthusiast OnlinePeter Bacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269735128875798498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-44937313183085089732009-06-25T20:49:09.499+01:002009-06-25T20:49:09.499+01:00113 years old?!?
