What he should have said was ‘exorbitant’.<BR/>Exorbitant, adj Greatly exceeding in amount . . . what is . . . reasonable.<BR/>Extortionate, adj Relating to demands characterised by the use of force or threats. <BR/><BR/>I have always considered cooling towers to have a beautiful shape; a welcome addition to the landscape. In a set of rhyming clues for a car ‘Treasure Hunt’ I referred to them as ‘a giant’s diaboloes‘.<BR/><BR/>I trust you have now said all there is to say about this particular river. I would hate you to become a Severn bore. Boom-boom.<BR/><BR/>In Ollerton we have two ‘Fat Boys’; a sort of bargain version of Wilkos. The main street building was once a Liptons and then became a LowCost before remaining empty for some years with frequent rumours that it was to become a Wilkos. But it didn’t.<BR/>They must have lots of other things which you can't remember but which will no doubt come in useful.<BR/><BR/>When eating out, I almost always opt for liver (with onions or bacon, fried or stewed) on the grounds that I never get it at home and if properly prepared it produces, without doubt, the best gravy in the world. So good that I would have Yorkshire Pudding with it (but not Nottingham Pudding). I can only think of one, quite recent, occasion when I found the gravy so offensive (to me) that I had to scrape it off the offal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
