Brings back the old ploy I knew in pubs of the past that had free salted peanuts in dishes on the bar - slyly intended to increase
the sale of beer to assuage the thirst. π

I personally think Larkin is a great introduction to English culture as it truly is - sexually repressed, hypocritical, agnostic/atheist, classist, sceptical and gloomy - for children from other cultures. That lesson cannot come some enough, IMHO.

and NO! I'm NOT getting my coat, I can't, where do you think the tent came from π

Thank you Rose. Stephen & Holden for your generous words.
I have let things slip, a thirty-year-old cargo boat
stubbornly hanging on to my name and address.
They have swabbed me clear of my loving associations.
Scared and bare on the green plastic-pillowed trolley
I watched my teaset, my bureaus of linen, my books
Sink out of sight, and the water went over my head.
Sylvia Plath, Tulips

We loved the way you started this poem Bethany by putting yourself in the place of the sufferer, a very deep showing of empathy, and a great poem!
