David, somehow Brigitte Bardot never did it for me but Ursula Andress coming out of the sea in that white bikini in Doctor No was something else, phwoar!

When my hubby and I were courting, sometimes he'd come to my house and my mum would make him tomatoes on toast. He's never heard of it till he had them at our house. Well, he did come from posh Carlton, LOL.

I used to use a transport cafe on the A38 near junction 28 of the M1 (To tie two topics nicely together) I wasn't feeling particularly hungry one day and just asked for tomatoes on toast instead of the usual fry up.
