Don't know about donkeys but I know I don't like strawberries. I'm quite fond of kumquats.

Duchess my Dad was from Birmingham.

From what I remember it was when I was little and we used to have Sunday afternoon drives out into the countryside. The sharing of sweets on the journey with me and my sister was ... Like giving a donkey strawberries... :)

Never heard the expression but found myself singing a bit of Anthony Newley. Before most of you lots time, darlings.

It's at the very end of his version of 'Strawberry Fair' - a favourite from my childhood

'Now, Ri-fol, Ri-fol, Tol-de-riddle-li-do,
Ri-fol, Ri-fol,

Strawberries. Shan’t be round tomorrow
The donkey’s pinched all the strawberries
Hee-hee-hee-hee.'

It's actually pre Ramblin Syd.

The Dame owes much of his singing style to Anthony Newley. Am not the first to notice this.

Am also off donkey and strawberry related topic.

I feel I need to find a donkey. And some strawberries. My horse didn't like blackberries or bananas although some equines do. That's no help at all is it?
