It was a Saturday morning, about half ten, so I though his mother was over-indulging him just a tad.<br /><br />On an earlier occasion, when I was about 14, I called on another pal one Saturday morning (probably around the same a.m., maybe later) and it was the same scenario. However, it was snowing and I'd had to walk a fair distance, so his mother's "He's still in his bed" followed by a closed door really annoyed me.

And if I had made an appointment to meet someone and then gone to bed, my mother would've been mortified and dragged me out by my ears.Gey Blabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574046212154188903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-62003141486084950572013-11-28T12:53:18.460+00:002013-11-28T12:53:18.460+00:00Under normal circumstances, GB, most Scots seemed ... Under normal circumstances, GB, most Scots seemed to have their tea at the same time (at least in my town), so such events were, I suppose, relatively rare in the overall scheme of things. However, there were times when some folk didn't have their tea at the usual hour, which was when such events occurred. But, forgetting the food aspect for the moment, telling someone (as in my case) that the person they've called for is in his bed, rather than getting them up, when the visitor (me) has made the effort to keep a prearranged 'appointment' does strike me as rather rude and inconsiderate - especially when such a thing didn't happen in reverse.<br /><br />******<br /><br />Likewise, AJ.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-48266215526286782842013-11-28T12:25:21.657+00:002013-11-28T12:25:21.657+00:00I had indeed, I was honored (thank you) It's n...I had indeed, I was honored (thank you) It's nice 'meeting' like minded folk such as yourself :)Arfon Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538971075550919385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-47943163969840797032013-11-28T12:20:39.918+00:002013-11-28T12:20:39.918+00:00My mother didn't force us to do much, but she ...My mother didn't force us to do much, but she did insist that myself and my brothers all sat down together at a certain time for our tea. If we tried to gobble it down in order to get back out quicker, she would put us in our place sharpish. I can't think of a single instance when a pal would come to the door during that period, simply because they all knew that was a no-go time. Likewise, we wouldn't go to their door because we knew that we'd be sent packing. People weren't being unfriendly, I don't think; it was just a short period that was reserved for family, and occasionally visitors and relations. On the other hand, people who called at any other time were always made welcome.Gey Blabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574046212154188903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-841983002366210522013-11-28T12:13:05.279+00:002013-11-28T12:13:05.279+00:00Thank you, sir.

I have often had the ‘wait in the living room as she gets ready’ scenario an awkward moment of talking about school and other matters that kids might be able to chat about interrupted by bouts of “are you ready yet” at the bottom of the stairs. Biscuits are always offered, and a few have left the premises with a bag of crisps. Happened fairly recently, so I have been thinking about this prior to your post. That one time stands out 30 years on!<br />Oh I have been meaning to drop you a line for some time sir, love your work and I love the site!<br />Arfon Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538971075550919385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-34750989608199428292013-11-28T11:25:53.351+00:002013-11-28T11:25:53.351+00:00You'd think they would at least have given you...You'd think they would at least have given you a cup of tea and a biscuit and sat you in the living room, eh?
