    The strangest gift from a caller.

    What's the oddest item you've given as a caller, or recieved from one?

    Mrs. W was visited on Saturday afternoon by a chap she used to be in a panto with. Pleasant chap, popped by to say hello and have a cuppa as he was in the area.

    "These are for you" he said, "you're supposed to bring something when you visit, aren't you?" . . . . and handed over a 1.5 Kg bag of Sainsburys potatoes!!



    I just don't get it!

      I like to give people pegs when I call on them. If it's a particularly attractive woman I might give her a purple duster.

      Strangest gift I've ever received is the Magna Carta. Needless to say Threaded gave it to me after finding me lurking in his Rhododendron bush.

        Hey, there's nowt wrong with giving a woman the benefit of your purple duster if she's that way inclined.

          Of course it could be some in joke relating to a night of passion they had together once ... obviously you wouldn't get the joke cos you weren't there

            She used to answer to the handle of "spud" short for spud gun for obvious reasons.

              Maybe she had a penchant for his "tattie" water at one time?

                Nah, Mrs. W has much higher standards that that! Plus, she was as totally bemused as I was.

                  Strangest gift.

                  Not a 'gift' exactly but I did leave a load of dog tulip in a neighbour's hallway once after stepping in a pile of doggy chocolates outside.

                  They were very good about it and even said it didn't matter - which I thought was strange because it stank the whole house out.
