Picnic Anyone ?
Dad's family are proper posh, decended from the Percys dontchaknow (If anyone knows what that means I would be grateful etc etc) and Mum's family used to eat a handfull of hot gravel every morning before working 18 hours in the pit and then their parents would whip them asleep with their belts..... I am kind of a mixture.

One thing I insist on is that picnics are done properly. By properly I mean.....table, table-cloth, chairs, candelabra, plates, glasses, champagne nicely chilled, nothing from Tesco, you know the sort of thing. I find this behaviour especially welcome at School Picnics at the local Comprehensive School where the odd sprinkling of loose change usually comes up with a temporary butler and miscellaneous serving staff.
