Patchwork Pate of Wales did a squirrel pate a couple of years ago - I had to try it as they were giving a donation to the Red Squirrel preservation society........................Can`t say I was overly impressed - really seemed like their chicken liver pate to us - possibly spit roasted or casseroled they say it is a cross between lamb & duck ( Luck ? or Damb ? ) - anyway - my lad is safe ok ?

This from Wikipedia.................................
Chav probably has its origins in the Romani word "chavi", meaning "child"[3] (or "chavo", meaning "boy",[4] or "chavvy", meaning "youth"[5]).[6] This word may have entered the English language through the Geordie dialect word charva, meaning a rough child.[7] This is similar to the colloquial Spanish word chaval, meaning "kid" or "guy".[4][8]
The derivative Chavette has been used to refer to females.[citation needed]
The Oxford University Press has said that the word is "generally thought to come from Chatham girls",[4] and Michael Quinion says that that is "where the term is best known and probably originated".[6]
Many urban legends have sprung up around the etymology of the word. These include the backronym "Council Housed And Violent" or "Council House Associated Vermin",[1] and the suggestion that pupils at Cheltenham Ladies' College and Cheltenham College used the word to describe the young men of the town ("Cheltenham Average").[9] However, Michael Quinion has said that "we must treat supposed acronymic origins with the greatest suspicion; these examples are definitely recent after-the-event inventions as attempts to explain the word, though very widely known and believed."[6]
By 2005, media references to 'chavs' had spread the word throughout Britain.

Pentax Royal Wedding Honour
I have been invited to join my old college chum and famed Scandinavian Wedding/Society photographer Olaf Pilor at the Royal Wedding .
Some of you may know of Olaf and his exceptional work - much can be viewed at www.pristalfir.co.se
He was the inventor of the Ralip I semi-automatic self levelling zoom lens attachment for his cameras ( marketed by Togo Yu of Tokyo )
Whilst he does not always use Pentax gear he appreciates why I do and wants me to share in the big day.
As a bonus - anyone from the site who would like to join us must register at his website before 12-00 midday today - sorry for the short notice.
Great experience and well worth the journey I think !

T`other way round here TT - started off foggy/misty and then about 11-30 the sun burst through ! Hardly warm but very encouraging - out in garden tinkering at the moment - lots of rubbish to clear from the winter`s ravages.
No sign of Cyril - maybe JudithAnne has stolen him - lol
