A certain Mr Bradshaw, occasionally of these parts, coined the term “welf” to describe our noble trade.

I just looked it up on Urban Dictionary and I think we’d best leave it! The term will never cross my lips again.


M’kay?

I don’t know, lots of words have different meanings in America.  A British welf can still be a practitioner of the noble art

You had me worried for a moment, the last two letters were making me nervous, while still being overwhelmingly curious about what the first two might mean.  But I was on the wrong track entirely!

I see that Mr Bradshaw has secured a well earned promotion and is now dining at the top table. Hope that you are still gonna be shaking your thang on the Clocktower dance floor next week with us plebs, Ryan?
