"Shy bairns get nowt"

MrsO is a firm believer in this old adage. So much so that last Saturday when we were enjoying a very nice complimentary cup of coffee at our local Jaguar dealership, MrsO pipes up "I collect cups and saucers (she does) can I have one of yours" needless to say they acceded to her request and she is now the proud owner of a free cup and saucer.
