TANNOY is actually a Yankee expression for a ship's public announcement system.
Thank you Tom, I realise that now, however I have wanted to work in the garden for sometime and as Mary is away it is starting to look a tad overgrown in places. It would be lovely to have it all ship shape and Bristol fashion as I am sure Mary would like it to be. Also, I think that Pat's hens have made a roost for themselves in there somewhere and I would like to find them before the cook does. If I need an extra pair of hands or two to round them up who would you suggest?
