Thank you for that laugh!
Don't tell me we are in for a further eleven of these Memos!
"He's not dead...he's just stunned..."
Peter;
I wouldn't bet on only eleven - after all, the customer ought to have the last word !
Mulier Fortis!
I am truly shocked - that is a French Partridge! What is wrong with Perdix perdix - less flashy but English and tastes better!
Sorry, no idea about the nationality or taste of partridges...
Partridges, I can assure you, taste very good in a rich red wine sauce, but are still an acquired taste.
I have not acquired it and hate pulling out the shotgun pellets from between my fillings.
OUCH!
