Waddo 921 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I thought that if I saw the name it would be instantly remembered, but it's not jogged any memories, so can't confirm one way or the other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I haver no idea Rog. Even if it did have one, I don't think it would recognise some of the dialect words that I type My main problem is the letter 'e'. Words containing 'e' such as 'the' and 'some' usually come out with the 'e' in the wrong place. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Jellies were long after my time as a child, Kath. My friends had those leather sandals, Clarke's? I had to wear special shoes with rigid uppers and a leather sole to try and straighten my feet. I was born with them looking at each other - head on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Here's one for the girls. I'm reading a series of books set in the 30's, and a dirndl skirt was mentioned. They were popular in my youth, I made one in needlework class at school. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 There is no dip stick to check the oil in my car. I have to go into the menu of the on board computer! Technology! Before my dad let me learn to drive I had to learn how to check the oil, coolant, tyre pressures, tyre tread, fill the windscreen washers, jack the car up and change the wheel. I can still do all of these except the wheel change. It is safer to get the experts in as they bring the power tool to use at the roadside and the roadside assistance is something I pay for.

DJ360 6,730 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wish I could get my youngest to learn how to do that stuff with the car. She can't even read a map and does everything by Satnav, which means that about 99%of the time she has no clue where she is. For someone who has flown practically everywhere in the World.. I find it bizarre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
