The handbag is strong tonight

Apologies for lack of posting, both on this blog and others. The cold weather is a-comin in and it has been busy in X.Piry land - I hope to catch up soon.

However, a meeting I went to yesterday was very amusing. It was a gathering of the great and the good of the local FDs etc.

I used to think that a good collective noun for FDs would be a "body" of funeral directors. However, after yesterday (handbags at dawn, old rivalries being handled quite politely, I thought that one person was going to be called "my honourable friend" at one point!), I've decided that the right word is an "argument" of FDs.

Fascinating to watch!

Ha! Such self-control! They really don't like each other, do they?

Hi XP, trying to taker this thread a little further on my blog, too involved for a brief comment here. But liked this post - real-world stuff, eh?
