    Excellent...amazing how the bands we grew up with are now drawing or nearly drawing a pension.

    ...was always partial to a Bangle....they're looking fierce good for their mid- 50s...

    Yes I know dear! :D But the correct terminology is fruitcake. As in "as nutty as a fruitcake".

    This I gleaned from years living in London. But the word is gaining momentum in Ireland over the past decade (may be due to English soaps).

    Baskets of Fruit and Nuts may give rise to the term Basket Case.

    Both mean the same thing but the latter is more offensive than the first ....... especially if you've stopped taking your meds :D

    I remember the ad well. Frank Muir and Patrick Campbell (I think)used to be on a kind of quiz show. Muir (who rolled his Rs in an aristocratic way) did the Cadbury's ads from The Nutcracker Suite. Very funny at the time. There were a few different ones AFAIR.

    OK the Classical one was Fruit & Nut case but in O&O we're ageing chavs ....... so FRUITCAKE rules. Not another word out of ye now or I'll paste up a Daniel O'Donnell song :eek::D

    Nein! Unless your sexual proclivities stretch towards the word that once meant frivolous or exciteably happy ducky! When, may I ask, did you last consult Urban Dictionary or Wiki? Or are you an illusion? :D
