PS - seeing as the average Fodorite souvenir is a Hermes scarf or Birkin bag who the hell on here would buy a national costume as a souvenir anyway?

New rules.

New Year.

Not Happy New Year.

I'm going in the bath now. I expect the thread to be up and running by the time I come out. Or else.

I agree it was funny -- but I don't think an OP can be removed and the rest of the thread kept. maybe so. But if an OP is deleted there would be no place to 'hang' the other posts. Let's see what happens . . .

OOOOOOOOO where can I get a Hermes scarf in London?????

I rest my case.

RM67 - kidding!!

i take it back - where can I get them in London???

I wouldn't know I'm afraid. I'm not big on labels.

If it's not travel related but "funny" why not just post it in the Lounge? That is the whole point of the Lounge. This forum is for travel requests and information.

"Lighten up" has been banished for 2013.

nanabee - the original thread was travel related.

Daphne Guinness doesn't even carry a Birkin bag around London anymore, old thing.

That Hermes scarf and bag look went out of style when Lucy Clayton shut its doors.

Who wants to go around looking like a posh secretary for one of the directors of Coutts Bank?

If you want to look pukka shop at Brown's.

Calling mkingdom, where are you? We have a bander here.

Oh *stamp*, I missed it.
I reckon a morris dancers costume is the nearest thing we've got. Bring out those bells...

You've got very assertive in the New Year Ms M. Is this a resolution?

>I reckon a morris dancers costume is the nearest thing we've got. Bring out those bells...<

There was a link to Morris Dancing, in kilts, you wouldn't have liked it.

"You've got very assertive in the New Year Ms M. Is this a resolution?"

It's my back up in case I fail at the 'use less smilies' resolution.

Oh bugger!

Btw, you are badly needed on the mad vegan thread Tommy - knock some sense into 'em!

"nanabee - the original thread was travel related." . . . but unfortunately was advertising.

>Btw, you are badly needed on the mad vegan thread Tommy - knock some sense into 'em!<

Vegan? Beyond help missus.

A victory for Rose! The new assertiveness is working!

Thanks, Amy.

Amy thanks, it is a good thread.

Now how do we find out what Dobby did with the man in the pub with his two daughters?

nanabee - the original thread was travel related.>>

only in the loosest possible sense!

[like a lot of stuff here, to be fair].

Amy, THANK YOU!

<<Now how do we find out what Dobby did with the man in the pub with his two daughters?>>

bilbo - i think that the man with the daughters was at a golf club, if that matters.

I find that thread insulting to Canadians. I am asking the moderators to deep six it.

Thank you mods.

Now, where else can I use my new-found assertiveness......

>Now, where else can I use my new-found assertiveness......<

Assert yourself into the kitchen and make me a cuppa please.

<< Now, where else can I use my new-found assertiveness... >>

Watch out fodorites - RM67 on the move!

I shall now be assertive with you, RM. An ellipsis only has 3 dots...

I will make you one if you beat me at UC

Fed up beating you at that. You have taken the C out of UC.
