Ah did I imply it was inferior. That wasn't my intention. The egg selling is a solitary endeavour. No chums no conversation, just sitting all alone with the eggs The animal sellers have chums and wander around . Maybe the egg sellers are not gregarious by nature but I can't help noticing a male female divide there

The ducks will be finding themselves in the freezer if they don't buck their ideas up.

He lives with his (non-Mennonite) wife and family in deepest suburbia, and drives a grey Honda.

It's just occurred to me that I have no idea if he can also drive a buggy. I'll have to ask next time we meet...

A grey Honda? He could have at least got black! And with DBD's guy surfing the internet, things seem to be coming undone in Mennonite land.
