Well the vicar took time off mass on Christmas Eve to make some satsuma lanterns, good egg! And the staff at the Bugle Canteen broke the rules somewhat, I wouldn't expect any less - perverts and sickos the lot of them . . . but it did remind me of another satsuma trick learnt from my granny. Imagine if you will some kind of jolly Wurlitzer accompaniment to this little trick:
tum-tum-tum tum-teeee-tum-tum tummm tum tum!
tum tum tiddy tum, tiddle tiddle toop te toop toop toop,
toop toop toop toop . . . toop-toop-toop . . . tumtum teedle tumtum
buh-buh-buh-buh-buh! . . . buh-buh-buh!
Yes, that's right, if you weedle carefully you can make a splendid pith todger for your festive streaker. Such hilarity on a long winters night.
:-))))
ReplyDeleteBecause of this post I can no longer eat a satsuma. I am considering counselling, do you think it would help? Thankyou.
ReplyDeleteOh Bognor you poor delicate flower . . . I shan't show you my potato trick then.

ReplyDeleteI had bookmarked this and am glad that though the link had changed, I can still find my way back. I've reminded myself that I must practice this when citrus are next in season.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Susan! I'd forgotten completely about this post - a blast from the past.
