Matty: D'ye know I was thinking today about the time I went to my first ceilidh.
Nelly: What age were you?
Matty: I was thirteen. D'ye know what I wore?
Nelly: Tell me.
Matty: I had on this green jumper I knit myself and a sort of sleeveless gymslip thing over it.
Nelly: You never! What sort of a gymslip?
Matty: Well it wasn't really a gymslip. Just the shape of one. It had been a sailor dress but I took out the sleeves and the collar and stitched it into a vee-neck. I was always fixing up clothes. Hand sewing too.
Nelly: What colour was the dress thing?
Matty: Navy blue and the jumper was bottle green.
Nelly: Oh my God! What a combination.
Matty: And d'ye know what I wore on my feet?
Nelly: What?
Matty: A pair of wellington boots.
Nelly: (screams) You never! What colour were the wellies?
Matty: Black. And you know this - I was danced off my feet.

I corroborate the last statement of ten things that Nelly does every day. But then I live a few hundred miles away and some people may disagree (the fools).Mick
