Dats alright Dirtman....just as long as you realise that questions 368/369/370, relate to your missus.

I think the phrase "wide as a wizards sleeve" is what your aiming for?

Right again old chap! (you did her, didn't ya!) That's why they called her: "SHARon" (share & share alike!)
Although I've always thought a better name would have been "Loose-y".

When caught in a breeze while wearing a skirt ..... she often "whistled" .....
