    :D
    Younger people are generally too busy drinking by the time the cake is cut. A few sambos and cocktail sausages does the job.

    Wedding cakes have tiers, the top tier was traditionally reserved by the hotel and the couple kept it for the christening of their first child. Nowadays the first child generally doesn't arrive within 40 weeks (or suspiciously less than 40) of the wedding, so the top tier has less significance.

    There might be a regional difference here though!

    Yes that's right. Tiers held up on little sticks and the top one for the Christening. They were always fruit cake as well. Basically a Christmas cake. Back when I was a child and mam and dad would be going to weddings they would bring home a slice and they were always wrapped in thick linen napkins.

    I'll be happy with your cupcakes Leg :p

    Just dragging my arse outta bed, pretty much stayed there for the previous 24 hours. Guess my body was telling me something.

    Not sure if it was a dream or a real phone call, but I have recollections of the missus telling me that she broke the door handle off our truck. Have to wait until she wakes up to see if this is real :)

    Deskside at work...

    Ah, the "joys" of coming back to work and finding over 200 new emails in your inbox. I was only gone a single day, for crying out loud! :eek:

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Wasn’t a dream, she did pull the door handle off our truck :):)

    Just spent the last 3 hours attending an online training course, it was identical to last year, same slides same blurb. Total waste of time :(

    That truck is causing you some grief. I would plead a faulty handle. Can't image how it would come off otherwise.

    Deskside, home office, Zoom classes delivered for the day - but now working on a data analysis piece to send off by email by 5.30pm today so under a little bit of pressure.

    Busy, busy, busy...

    No worries, turned out to mostly be automated reports :)

    Besides, I'm doing a little happy dance over here anyway. Got my first COVID shot lined up for Friday. :cool:

    I could do with a different type of shot mind you, but I'll take what I can get :D

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!
