In the spirit of mumsnet, would I be unreasonable

…to open a box of chocolate-covered stem ginger wot I got with vaguely Christmassy notions?
It’s not destined for anyone else.
Yon Gus was aye a greedy besom…

A speedy response would be appreciated, for reasons which I trust are obvious

Got to go, there’s somebody at the door. Probably bewhiskered, at that.

For example, I am currently in need of replacing a bag of brandy-snaps and a box of After Eights.

My Mother used to make brandy snap
I bought a box last week

After Eights are too ‘clarty’ for my taste

There you go, Twellsy dear.
Blimey, I’ve never been so popular. Is there a scent based around ginger and chocolate, I wonder? because I wouldn’t bloody wear it: life would become a positive nightmare, dahlinks…

…ah! talking of scents and other wondrous smells, as you may have gathered, yours truly being an aficionado of certain baccy products (…particularly those originally from the port city of Latakia (Syria)) - get this! “…A modern perfume called Fumerie Turque (Turkish Smoke) was created by French company Serge Lutens, reproducing a fragrance in emulation of Latakia tobacco.” (…thank you wiki) :grin::grin::grin:
