You actually develop a taste for cheese rolls ....... packet of onion soup mix, mix to a slushy paste with hot water then add grated cheese and finely chopped onion, spread onto a buttered sandwich loaf slice of bread, roll up like a swiss roll and then toast on your panini press

Taking a pony/chuck/piglet/lama/donkey along to your childs school pet day doesn't void their insurance and isn't out of the ordinary.

We had mufti in the UK - I thought it was an army term

When you see someone you know when you are in town / the supermarket / the beach etc
When you can call in on your friends unannounced because they're friends not just people you have met
