    I love that I'm so ''classy''. I never used that word pre internet.

    I think I'm....flexible. As happy with oysters as fish 'n' chips. :) But yseters have FAR fewer calories and edge into the lead on that basis.

    edit: as for poor maybe instead of not as poor it makes more sense to thing of me as a bit tight? Different spending priorities? And childless!

    How about oysters and chips?

    Or is it just my carb addiction talking now? :)

    Personally I'd have fish and oysters. ;) I'm not such a chip person, but fish and chi chips are the best chips IMO. You can get battered oysters and chips...not sure about whether that's in UK or NZ though?

    NZ...posh? No, very much not so. Lovely yes, posh no. You would have seen it had you ever lived there. I didn't just up and fly there.

    If you nice ladies lack zinc(?), there's (apparently) an easy way to solve that... ;)

    Well yes, Oysters are one way, not quite the one I had in mind. :)

    Iodine - thyroid?

    OH just had battered oysters in America but where I come from, you get oyster omelettes. It's not anything posh at all, it's street food!

    What a strange concept that oysters are posh :)

    Depends on whether your husband's home and feeling energetic?
