Very interesting AND entertaining talk on a subject I’ve been interested in for some years now. You’ve got a lovely personality, Alison Jane. Being English myself, I was particularly struck by your linguistic issue with the word “quite”. Unfortunately you didn’t say if in the end you kept the fiancé or if you sent him on his way… ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
