Cinnamon Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Its Henley Regatta from Wednesday onwards, so the town is heaving with massive lovely rowers at the moment I was in town the other day & an American crew were so polite to me, called me Ma'am & apologised for being in my way (they weren't - I was enjoying the view!) It was really refreshing thet they were so polite & respectful, as they were all huge chaps,apart from the cox who came up to my waist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I love that American habit of calling women Ma'am - so nice and polite The rowers are definitely the best bit of the regatta Being overrun with Hooray Henry's just turning up to get drunk isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to be doing a mystery shop in town tomorrow,but have cancelled it as I can't face the chinless wonders on the hottest day of the year so far They are truly awful, as is the traffic they generate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
