It has been a wonderful two weeks reading your mostly positive comments on our favourite place..My favourite word, for a long time on here has been your running up a stairs "Fredastairiousquely".
60 years ago, cycling 9 miles to a rural cinema in Ireland, we never knew what was going to grace the Silver Screen. Sometimes, instead of a John Wayne, firng 97 bullets from a six-gun we were stuck with a Fred & Ginger movie. His predilection for tapping-gliding up and down stairs, with or without the Busby Berkley troupe, earned him our gang's name of "Fred the Stairs": ah, those days that have gone.
Many thanks Sir Wharfie for your glorious contributions to the BTF Thesaurus, all very enjoyable. Please, please come back soon.

P.S. the vinaigrous taste to your eggs would have been caused by the cook's not washing out his pan after doing poached eggs, which need a touch of vinegar in the water to prevent their wandering around the place staying nice and neggulously together.
