In the dim and distant past of my mis-spent youth I was running an open 
air swimming pool at Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire, UK.

The "scenery" was, at times, extremely attractive, on this day 
particularly a pair of rather prominent perfectly rounded "hills" in the 
middle distance.(about 15 yards away).

I turned to point this out to our ice-cream delivery man,Rob.
In lurid detail, and with youthful creativity, I fantasised just what 
wonderful climbing and caving adventures,or indeed other sporting 
activities might be possible in such a landscape and the surrounding areas.
Rob seemed to be very much in agreement. The exquisitely landscaped 
young lady was last seen climbing into the passenger seat of the 
ice-cream van. Rob, the driver, waved and called, "Hey Douglas , did I 
introduce you to my wife, Janet?"

No need to tell the story that belongs to the retort "I am NOT his GRAND 
mother!"
