Feng shui..(real name fung schway)

Remember that???..what a load of ol bollocks!..you even had self proclaimed 'experts' in it..8-10 years ago it was everywhere..'this part of the room is positive' 'this part is negative'...use this colour here, some analogous themed scatter cushions there to balance the karma etc..

A lot of people got rich picking colours ad writing books for other people who couldnt make their minds up between magnolia and soft white!

"white dog poo you dont see it anymore"

I have some in a Tupperware box in my fridge...I get it out every now and again when I'm feeling nostalgic.

Don't knock it until you have tried it!

I am a believer, just too lazy to put theory into practice, like tidying the house to make the karma flows better!

Please clarify that you're referring to Feng shui rather than white dog poo.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Can still do that up here with any glass bottles from Barrs. Think you get 20p back on a bottle.

"The Black Death"

Due to political correctness it's now called 'nasty boils under the arm that may lead to death death'

Not quite as catchy (no pun intended).

They're very much in use in Scotland. I believe the deposit on a Barr's glass bottle is now 30p.

These were caled invacars and were only for use of disabled drivers. They were never owned by the driver just leased out they are now deemed unroadworthy and are illegal to drive on the road.
