The other day on The MOrning Show in Australia. I caught the tail end of a conversation about being careful how you end your messages on facebook. One of those was a x for kiss. As the speaker said it had indicated a person had been a Jew. Imean no offence to Jewish folk as I actually worked and ran a Jewish Laundrette in Gteshead in Englnd for three months while the Jewish owner and his Protestant manageress took a holiday. the lady was speaking about Jeish folk at the time so I think I am right. She ad concluded that you are not Jewish unless your mother is as you always know who your mother is. Tghe other one I got to her was LOL, which folk usually do Laugh out lopud. but it can sometimes be put on a sad comment as LOL Lots of love. Someone may b able to verify this from Austrlia if they nerd the whole converstion. I am prety sujre it is right.

My keyboard sticks and misses off letters and I need to replace. Annoying. I should remember to check before sending.
