This thread is not the same as the one Saint started all those years ago. It's much smaller as many things are these days.

I had about a dozen pools (indoor and out) within a short bus ride as a kid so a large chunk of school holidays were spent with friends swimming.

Oh yes, I did it daintily of course
At least it was your own spit. I remember as kids, our Aunty Lily spitting on her hanky and trying to wipe our faces 
Thank goodness for wet wipes!
My Granny used to do that and spit on her fingers and run it through my curls to get them to sit right 
If you've ever seen Jurassic Park 3 where the skeleton comes down out of the tree on top of the wife?.... well the dance she does is what i was like 
Ewww! Poor Bethni
We used to get fresh rolls and milk delivered at the gate.
I have 12 GCSE and 3 A levels - and did a degree in education (for a while)
oh yes

Made to measure drawers? Now you're talking! And if I ordered a few pairs that were made to fit my ample proportions then that would also go some way towards solving the unemployment problem in the flannelette industry!
