I've been for a tour around Freo jail too. The tiny jail cells scared me out of my wits. I immediately retired from my life of crime.

Some of you may recall "Croxley Script", a high end product.
Hi Besoeker, just reading your post, first thing is l am
amazed that someone who was at school a century
ago is capable of manipulating this so called technology,
as l am struggling to master the art myself, and
compared to you, l am a young thing.
Second thing is, Croxley Script, being a high end product,
Does this mean toilets were shaped differently in those
days of old?

Enjoy Your Day,
There is hope for me yet. Donkeyman.

Well, I started school in 1950 so the century ago was a bit of poetic licence.............
And I've always had an interest in technology.

Thee first patent for the flushing crapper was issued to Alexander Cumming. Even he was before my time......
