[Woodcarver] Re: Spelling

Hi Clive;
Now you see why we miss having the Woodbutcher this last little while, if 
he had been busy posting at his usual rate "Ben" would have been far too 
busy and have had no free time to notice your little indiscretion.(G)
Besides I think he's wrong, many woodcarver's  SWMBO's have declared 
woodcarving a vice , with that in mind and his quoted definition the, word 
woodcarving and vice surely "can" be connected.(G)

Woodbutcher oh woodbutcher where can you be, a man named Ben needs less 
time to call free!(G)
