You've learned summat new today Carni, don't recall now, but there is another member on here who has one. Beauty of it is, it washes on rinse cycle too, so your washing gets a double wash and no harmful detergent residue left behind in your clothes.

[Ayupmeducks 1,730]

Ariel used to rot my overalls, so what does the residue left behind do to your skin???? I remember seeing videos of the factory, everyone was wearing protective clothing and full face and breathing protection..... Maybe it should have been labeled with the skull and crossbones??

Bold and Ariel always made my underpants feel uncomfortable.

Vivien Leigh and Kylie always did it to mine...........

We stayed in Cardiff for a couple of days last year, Shown around by our granddaughter who was at Uni there. Very impressed. We kept saying "if only Nottingham had kept it's history and character like this...."

We had 1/4 inch of snow here. Funny to watch 'em all on tv going out to the supermarket to buy bread, milk and toilet paper. LOL

Don't know what they'd do if things really did get tight. Be shooting each other for a bogg roll I guess. :-))

Remember queuing at Morley's and Flewitts for bread during the strike.

#61 Loppylugs. We could teach em a thing or two. All they need is a bit of string and a cut up newspaper! Simples

[loppylugs 8,427]

Sure could Carni. Wasn't there a dance once called the Black Bottom? I seem to remember it. We've got woods out behind us too. Wouldn't want to be out there tonight. Several degrees of frost and a strong wind. Never heard of a dance called the frozen bottom.

[Guest]

Never used local media..izal was bad enough.

#63. What newspaper did your family use, carni - the Daily Mirror or the Daily Telegraph?

[carni 10,094]

How very dare you even think we would have anything but the best. The Evening Post of course.

[PeverilPeril 3,279]

Ah! Carni - I wondered what the newspapers sellers were on about shouting "PO n' Noooos"

[Chulla 4,946]

#65. I remember taking the minutes of a meeting at work where we had American engineers round the table. One left to go to the toilet. He came back with a square of Izal toilet paper in his hand complaining about its uselessness. All in fun but he had a point and I minuted that better paper should be provide for future meetings. I shallnever forget his expression when he walked in the room waving the sheet of Izal.

About all it was good for, as a kid, was tracing paper.

[Guest]

Or wrapping it around a comb,as a home made kazoo!

[Chulla 4,946]

Yes, Ian, but it made your lips itchingly buzz.

[loppylugs 8,427]

Nothing quite like the Mirror. Phew! Talk about random ramblings. I've forgotten where we came in. LOL.

[Guest]

Imagine going in for the wipe and your pictured on that page...

[The Pianoman 1,532]

We always had Izal when I was a kid. I remember the green wrapper vividly. What was the point of it? Was there nothing better then?

[Guest]

Bronco was a similar brand..Timothy Whites 2 ply was the house fave.

[Bubblewrap 3,815]

Captain Kirk was good at wiping out Cling ons.
