Very surprised that my phone doesn't predict 'Hitler' to follow 'Adolf'.

Not like there's a lot of them about.

You too, equally lovely lady! xx

Mine usually finish. My daughter and I were due to meet my friend and her daughters in London last month. Friend cancelled. Daughter suggested me and her should still meet - ended up spending over 300 quid on theatre and dinner ๐Ÿ™„
