Now I know why my husband often asks "wheres the scran spanners"
He is from the North West which I thought it came from but I guess it is 26 years in the Navy.
Nina,
all the resort restaurants are busy because we are in the middle of the free Dinign package offer to some resort guests. So yes, recession, so they go during the quiet period with free dining rather than pay the full whack!
I didn't realise Scran was just a North East word for food.
First time i've ever seen anyone ask what Scran meant.
Scran spanners being cutlery. I'm not sure whether I know it from my Dad being a Yorkshireman or his 25 years in the RAF.
And when you host a dinner party Steph do you tell al your guests to " dig in with their scran spanners"?
:D
Fingers were invented before forks Andrew whats wrong with using them?:)
Soup's off the menu then Steph:D
No you just pick the bowl up Andrew. Can you tell Ii dont do airs and graces?
