Nahhhh I think I would remember that! :D
Anyway, surely they are two a penny over where you live, languishing in barns, you could nick one for a song like the last Schmitt! ;) Uncle would be proud of you!

Hehe nah I'd just barter the price down, I don't want anything to do with him!

Me and a friend (the guy who made his own car and is traveling around the world - I posted his car a while back on "off topic") decided we're both gonna go around check out old french barns (he's back in france for a bit) see if theres any old mopeds, or unlikely but nrare micros :P

I'd be happy if I found any old 60's moped (cehap of course!), there have to be loads around... I know of a lady who had 3 (thanks to me she only has 1 left  ;D ), another guy that has 2 (both older people who bought them new or very early on), then "collector wise" theres obviously me in my village, and one of our friends (who has a holiday house here) has an old Solex, and I'm sure there are more in our small village that I havent discovered yet!

The other guy is not Arie. So this is my guess, Richard. Might be wrong.

There was or is a rather rude song with the words "dickie dido" in it.  My old deceased Mum & Dad used to sing a slightly cleaned up version years ago, Bless 'em.  :o

  Dick  ;D

Indeed. Richard the Third, Bird.  So Dickie Bird.
Prior to that Rick, or Hick as the old Britains were poor at pronouncing the more French style R, was popular. As Richard was a popular post Norman invasion name with the anglo saxon system getting replaced, not least due to several good Kings, it was one of the new names to take over. Many a pet name deriving from it. Including Hitch. Just as well or I might have been Ditchcock, which sounds like some sort of rural pervert.

'Hitch' is actually Anglo Saxson for tiny.

My wifes family never had Spotted Dick as a desert.  It was referred to as Spotted Dog instead.
It is only when she met me that she had a Spotted Dick!

Spotted Dick is a steamed pudding made with currants but Spotted Dog has plumbs instead. Both are great with lashings of hot custard. Ah, the good old days when you didn't have to worry about your weight or calories.  ;D
