You are the first person I've heard who has reiterated that though. If I say it in jest I'm accused of being sexist - which I most definitely am not.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-31413248899433260202012-06-13T14:15:41.263+01:002012-06-13T14:15:41.263+01:00How are things going, John, don't seem to have...How are things going, John, don't seem to have heard from you for a while...Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-90727932579265708982012-06-12T15:56:36.687+01:002012-06-12T15:56:36.687+01:00That was one shrill thrill indeed!

My brothers all whistle like that... they taught me once but my father was very strict & very "English" and "whistling like that was not something ladies do". I don't think your missing out on anything. My husband can't whistle like that either :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-9125691746767445922012-06-08T08:56:07.134+01:002012-06-08T08:56:07.134+01:00Now you've made me wonder.

I also still have an assortment of Liverpool City Police whistles -0 they don't have a pea in them!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-80062943556180658132012-06-08T08:53:31.315+01:002012-06-08T08:53:31.315+01:00The things we miss out on in life. . . . .

(This lady would not need one.) I can't for the life of me remember WHY I had one (or what became of it).

I don't think I have the patience to practice for a week now. Like I don't think I will ever learn to do that popping noise some people can do by flicking their cheeks.
