From your little picture it looks like you've had a few already! What are you trying to catch? It's a computer 'pointer' flickering across the screen. I'll probably have changed it again in a day or two granny and no one will have the foggiest idea what you're on about! I take your point though about poverty in both the present day and the past.

All this talk of Berts flies is rather intriguing. Zip or buttons Bert?
The dentist of old. Well butcher would be more appropriate especially when talking about the school dentist. I think most kids in those days were traumatised for life by a visit there. you're right there! they were butchers! i remember going to the school dentist when i was in primary school, and i remember there were two women dentist, i had to have a filling 'and no cocaine!!'well these two women were talking about what they did the night before while one of them was drilling my tooth--'and remember no cocaine!' she went round and round and round with this drill,thought she was never going to stop i was in agony!! another time had to have a tooth out with gas, and that rubber mask was horrible,i remember the dream i had----a tigger chased me up a tree. i've never forgotten the school dentist,put me off for life!!!!

Cute move Geekus and yea they'll all think I am the daft one! Getting back to the Christmas spirit. Father had his tot of Navy Rum, mother had her glass of Advocaat and the children had a glass of Peardrax or Cidrax. That was it. No wine then or beer.Well they didn't drink anyway. That meant mother was out of it after one!

Was it a straight Advocaat, or a 'Snowball'? I reckon people only ever drink 'Snowballs' at Christmas!
And what about you granny, when you were going out in the Sixties? Bet you were more of a 'Babycham' kind of girl. There seemed to be far less choice for lady drinkers back then. Could be wrong but apart from Babycham the only other ones I can remember were 'Cherry B', and 'Pony'.

Real women, those with hairy chests and funny hats only drank stout. There's a definite shortage of Battleaxe's.
Bring back the Battleaxe.
