Thank you Jenny for your so kind comments; can I send you a bonio for your guide dog?

Jo, I'll leave the details to your imagination but you'll no doubt see when KG is published.

[jopsy]

Oh dear Chantal I do have a rather over-active imagination

[Beccy]

5'5 3/4", 16+ stone (oh yes I like my food ), long brown and white hair (I seem to be missing the grey phase and going straight to white), blue-grey eyes, 'Cornish' body shape and looks, glasses, wrinkles, some from smiles some from frowns.

My dearly beloved has compared me to both the backend of a bus and Lauren Bacall. I should clarify that he loves buses, and was likening me to a particular favourite. And my nostrils are apparently just like Lauren Bacalls . He isn't known for his silver tongue

Beccy you sound alright to me, but do you mean you have one blue eye and one grey eye.

Kind regards the cheeky Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

What's a 'Cornish' shape? Like a pastie?

[Mr Potato Head]

Apparently, I look exactly like Glen Tilbrook, from Squeeze... can't see it myself!

[Chantal]

I've now spent half my lunch hour looking for photos of Glen Tilbrook on Google!

However, I found some and if this is the truth you are quite a cute Mr PH...

What's a 'Cornish' shape? Like a pastie?

There is definitely a cornish type, grey or blue eyes, lighter red-browns through to reds and blondes for the hair, build quite chunky, with body and arms long in relation to leg length which gives a slightly rolling gait.

I used to have light red-brown hair, it's the red bits that have gone white. And if my legs were in proportion to my arms and body I'd be two inches taller and have more thigh to spread the fat out on . My folk come from Cornwall for generations past although I was born and brought up in Oxford. The first time I went there on holiday I spent the whole time glimpsing men that looked or moved like my brothers , but who on closer inspection were of a type with them. Rather disconcerting until I got used to it.

And the blue-grey eyes OH are both either depending on what colour top or hat I am wearing.

[Jenny Green]

Thanks Beccy. That was really interesting. I'm sure there's a lot of truth to what you say. Cornwall was one of the areas the Celts were confined to when we were invaded by the Angles Saxons etc. And Cornish used to be spoken there but I think the last native speaker died some time ago. I'm sure you know all this but it adds a lot of weight to your theory about a kind of Cornish type.
