Paul,
It was probably me who deleted your post - for which I apologise.
We were hit by a nasty dose of the spammers the other day and I had to learn how to delete the posts and the spammers.
I'm afraid I may have inadvertently deleted your post, too.
Sorry - and we never set out to be overly officious it's just that in the face of a lot of useless nonsense being posted by people who seem to have nothing better to do than to attack pretty harmless websites, it can be difficult to be selective some times.
Please do keep posting genuine stuff and jokes.
Cheers
Norm

Bernie. Very Good, but if you`ve got time to post that at 8.40am on a Thursday morning then you`ve got too much time on your hands! Which begs the question: If I`ve got time to read it an hour later, then so have I!

ah Mary Quant.
..............my claim to fame from the 1960's.
In 1967, Mary Quant launched her new range of footwear called "Quantafoot". These were plastic boots and shoes with the Quant flower embeded in the plastic. Each pair of boots/shoes came with its own plastic carrier bag also bearing the Quant logo.
My school holiday job in the great Summer of '67, was to plastic weld every plastic handle to each bag for each pair of shoes- 1000 bags a day; 5 days a week for 5 weeks.
If only I knew then what I know now- these bags fetch a minimum of £50 each if you can still find them...................
