Glad you mentioned that. I was tempted to visit Napa in our time in SF later this week but I think we will be better off concentrating on the city. What would your must-see be for there?
We were on the 4th of July the place was packed. You couldn’t actually get out of town, I’ve been twice I just the usual things galleries, I didn’t bother going to Alcatraz but the other half did she enjoyed it. I just spent time on the cable cars.

I spent one of my loveliest, dearest holidays in Stanton St John, OX, once. We rented a cottage and enjoyed a peaceful couple of weeks.
One episode from Inspector Barnaby was actually shot there.

I’ve finally come to the Riviera Ligure for a week of swimming, walking, pedaling and taking in as much sun and iodine as possible.
My entrée was to sit at a place I always went to with my former companion, have a Negroni and (try to) say goodbye to everything that’s gone.
Now, off to the beach.

I spent 3 years at LP. Saw some great bands.
I was at the University, from 82 to 85, doing my PhD. My housemates’ arty girlfriends were at the Poly doing fashion and textiles.

Why would you want to confuse people who are paid minimum wage and work hard for their money? It’s not clever, it’s annoying. You might find your comments amusing but you can guarantee that those on the receiving end don’t. They will just dislike you, which is sad.

Never offend the people serving your drink or food.

Indeed. Workers in shops have enough to put up with, without people making funny comments and thinking they are clever.
