Is there just a tiny wee spelling mistake or typo somewhere? "Some don't wear one but may do .......... ??" .... a strange, and very muddlesome assertion.

I coloured it brown (first time Ive used colour in a post so I didn't know what would happen) but your blue was still more obvious... sorry

ah no! You see "tiny wee" has a singularity of expression, like "brown" or "flabby wobble".

I am strange and muddlesome. Furthermore, I don't really do writing. I don't think I've written anything of any length since my GE and even then that was for GCSE's and they don't really count anyway.

no, I disagree.

Wee means small, so does tiny...?

brown is only one word and I'm never heard the expression "flabby wobble", but surely flabby is an adjective and wobble is the other thing, um, noun I suppose.

shouldn't that be remark? in the singular? In any case I was talking about a bathroom not a lavatory. .... and even if I was (which of couse I wasn't!) then it is not veiled.
