Ps: I am not allowed anything sharp

LJ was saying the other night she quite likes a well hung Boggett

Lesley Jay

I am allowed out on infrequent occasions, but only when I am with my Aunty Mary! Also I am allowed to write but only with crayon. And by the way I can prove I am my own grandfather.

Default Boggart Hole Clough
A little know area in Manchester, east of Crumspall and north of Harpurhey; east of the A664 and west of the M60.

Don't go there though, you'll get a dose of tropical frostbite!

Piglet will try and convince you that it's the Forest of Dean, because Wellie Twelve Toes lives there.....
