Not really pedantry but three things I came across today which I found interesting:

A woman who climbs up tall buildings is not a steeplejackess but a steeplejill (sorry if that's been mentioned here before).

The Anglo-Saxon for queen bee is beomoder (bee mother).

On Desert Island Discs, the actor Brian Cox rejected the offer of a Bible but he chose as his favourite record of all "God only knows".

We all wish JigJag well - I was hoping he might be stuck on a cruise ship with Honor Mishun.

I have received a telegram from Jigjag who is well. He must have read that I need fruit and veg so he gave me the phone number of Ivan Napple. It seems that if I call him, he will arrange for a local greengrocer to deliver my order. It's a sort of Interflora, but called "Intaveg". Well, I am into veg, though not vegan, so I might call him. Apparently you need to be an "approved customer" as they cant serve everyone, but Jigjag will fix it for me.

Interesting to read your post re steeplejill. Is it the same with hijacker? Should a female be hijackress or hijiller?

The shop next door to Ivan Napple is run by a Greek chap selling delicious crusty, oven-baked meat delicacies - he`s known locally as Pythagoras (groan)

Orson, Tyke, Grunger,

I enjoyed reading your posts. The 'steeplejill' stuff was interesting and it was nice to bump into Honor Mishun again.

Grunger, thanks for the Jigjag update. Your 'Intaveg' sounds good and I expect you to make full use of your 'approved customer' status. Feel free to return to the Forum with reports on '30 Things To Do With Celeriac' and 'Kale For Beginners'. In these troubled times, we all need good news, feel good, items - five a day could keep you busy for a while.

Malone, Orson, Grunger,

A few tips on `Asparagus growing` might prove useful.

Tyke, any tips from me are more likely to be along the lines of 'How To Open A Tin Of Beans' or '20 Things To Do With A Bag Of Frozen Peas'.
