Ear clipping is sadly something of a lost art now but in my humble opinion should be on the National Curriculum. There are a few politicians who I'd like to see ear clipped, preferably in public on some sort of ear clipping scaffold made just for the job.

Busy day ahead but I'll just leave you with the following (re offerings) -

If I leave an apple core on the plate the waiter will take it away
If I throw it in the bin that's OK
If I throw it in the street that'll offend and I might get fined
If I hang it from a tree I'm either mad or a member of a new religion
If I throw it in the hedge where none can see that's OK

Or...
I could eat the apple core :-)
but my Mum used to say I'd get little apple trees growing in my tummy :-(
I could never eat another apple again and become an appletarian

I like apples and bananas though
and when in the countryside always throw them where none can see
wouldn't do that with a can of course or a plastic bag
or hang a banana skin from an apple tree...
