"Quo Vadis?" means -
"Where do you go?" or "Who goes there?"
Mr Darcy, of course, speaks Latin fluently and being an old fashioned type prefers -
"Whither goest thou?"

My family can only match it, not beat it, though with 5 females, it is better, IMHO  . My grandmother had her photo taken for a local paper I think, with her daughter (my aunt), grand-daughter (my cousin), great grand-daughter and her baby, the great, great grand-daughter. I must try to get a copy from the paper.

to kazza and aaron, yes aaron wither goest thou, i know because we were going to call our narrow boat that, but we were told it was bad luck to change a boats name, it was called "ashwood"but thought quo vadis was apt for a boat. now kazza,i admit defeat 5 of the same sex is more rare,i am waiting for some body with 6 generations,is that possible.regards noraT

hi mrslizzy, we seem to have gone off 5/6 generations and on to latin ,but thats how things seem to go on roots chat, and i like it .its like that old joke my dad use to tell,about a long line of soldiers, and the man in charge, says pass it on "send reinforcements we are going to advance" and by the time it gets to the end of the of the line, the last man says "send three and four pence, we are going to a dance" now that might start off some thing else, and thats "me miseram. regards nora T
