G'day Tom … crikey; fifty stone! At that weight, you'd never anything anyway, so breaking the table would at least give some entertainment - poor Mabel - Lindsay

Haha, thanks Lindsay, happy to announce she's joined a slimming club, no hope for the table though, firewood lol. Regards. Tom

Now she does her best work on her back. If you look close you'll see a small crack. When the table did break, Mabel bit by mistake. The poor fellow thought he was under attack.
