Thou Shalt Not Use "Cracking" as an adjective

Adam sent me a pretty snazzy Toy Story pencil case in the post, not because he is trying to "woo" me;
We are not twelve and it takes a least a pint these days, but because I am a child and I am easily pleased.


My Mother however is a little more suspicious insisting that it is in fact an apparent token of his affection.

"I am not romantically involved with everyone that sends me something in the post Mum,
If that were the case I would be in a fairly serious relationship with Natwest by now wouldn't I?"
