Examples

  • So no "Jane Austen" tours, but there was a cross-Thames car ferry - maybe that still exists; it was free and one "got some TS" (Thames spray) in one's face, worth a pickled eel, but less than eels and mash or a piece of rock-salmon (battered dog fish), but beat a kick in the solar plexus and other things.
