Some Mothers do have Them and Others. Mentioned in the story earlier.

I came from a line of thieves. My g.g.g. grandfather was transported for theft to Van Deeman’s Land, now known as Tasmania. Likewise so was my g.g.grandmother. After each gave 6 years labour to His Majesty they were free citizens. They and their children did well in free society.
I have been to England 3 times. A place I find depressive and with terrible weather. I’d look at the natives and praise my forebears and the magistrates that sentenced them. There but for the grace of thieves go I.
There is one thing for which I hold the English in high regard. Their humour. Only the Irish can match them. Their TV satires are priceless. Perhaps my favourite is “The Last of the Summer Wine” which ran for37 years. I purchased the DVD’s so didn’t have to endure it as long.
There really are too many humorous serials to mention here. You can get some of them on Youtube.
