He did have some name for it that has no English equivalent. We had the breakfast/dinner/tea vs the breakfast/lunch/dinner discussion and then he asked what we call the fourth meal on a night out.

A German colleague has just asked me what we call the meal we have at the end of a night on the lash I.e. a kebab, parmo, pizza, etc. Is there a name that anyone knows of? Silly question, I know - but I just wondered what we call that

Yeah, agree that he has been inconvenienced on many occasions for something out of his control so I don’t want him to inconvenience him anymore. However there is a little twist in the story as these repairs should be covered on our buildings insurance. But, as the premiums will Sky rocket our...

Yeah, we are now going level and strengthen the floor, add tanking under the shower and tile over the existing tiles. Unfortunately, I’ve had too many repairs by handmen who fairly much just carry out temporary fixes over and over again

Absolutely superb recommendations - thanks so much. I will read about every one of them today and start downloading Didn't realise we had so many intelligent people on the board :)

I am sure you could ask thousands questions now given the opportunity. It’s probably a similar reason why I want to spend some time with my dad this weekend. He has a major stroke last year and was admitted to hospital for three months. At the time all hospital visitors were banned due to...

Absolutely fantastic idea and also just what I’m looking for. He’s had a very tough year and we need a bit of father and son time. Sounds like you have similar moments with your father

I think the Lion Inn is a thumbs up - thanks for the info. And thanks @StanleySmith for the Forrestors recommendation
