"roll a fag" can also be misunderstood... :-)

I guess this is just one of those linguistic differences (like, over here to
"bum a fag" means to scrounge a cigarette - means something TOTALLY
different in the USA, or so I am told), but to toss in an umbrella stand
would definitely be considered particularly bad manners in the UK .... ;-)

  I'm way late in responding to this Jim (out of town for much of the
holiday week) but it reminded me of a time, at about the same age, when I
had a bad tummy at my grandmother's house. I couldn't make it to the
bathroom so I tossed in her umbrella stand. She was none too happy with me.
At least this little guy has a helmet.
