Ok, David, I recognize all but "Mum boiling up the copper". You will have to explain that one, it might just be an Aussie phrase for some thing I do recognize.
Lorri Perhaps we all could add a few more:- - ink wells - putting chalk in the ink wells - putting the plaits of the girl in front into the ink wells (this all in Grade 4 in 1957) - electric erasers (when I was a draughtsman in 1966) - drawing maps by hand!!! - being first to collect the bread from the horse-drawn baker's cart and then hollowing it out and pretending the mice had got to it. - Dad putting out the milk bottles to let us know we'd been "parking" long enough! - Mum boiling up the copper - begging chips of ice from the "Ice Man". etc. etc. David in Ballarat To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [email protected].
