posh nosh

i went with brian and david to a dinner in oxford last friday – not to enjoy the yummy-looking food (no chance of getting so much of a mouthful when brian's around) but for my annual reunion with lafayette, who sounds french but who comes from sweden, where he lives with a famous swedish writer...


laf, as i call him, is a sweetie but he does tend to go on at some length about the bedrock of swedish culture which, if i understand him correctly, is made up of three things called lutherism, trade unionism and self-reliance. 

i told him that english culture was made up of fish 'n' chips, football and beer which pretty much brought our cultural exchange to an end...

Your friend sounds like an interesting dining companion, but are you sure you heard his name correctly? He appears to have an A sewn on to his paw. I have Buttons Hippo sewn on to mine so everyone knows that's exactly who I am!

How nice that you wore your dress outfit to match Lafayette.

It certainly does look like posh nosh but I'm sure Brian only took a couple of mouthfuls for the sake of politeness.
