Re: Three single sheets
I think I may inadvertently have given people the wrong impression here........Donkeyman was referring to Besoeker quite innocently as BS...
BeSoeker.
My daft brain thought it would be funny to point out that those inadvertent initials, especially on this particular thread, were also the initials of a certain substance!
I wasn't in any way meaning to imply that Donkeyman was calling Besoeker a certain substance.
I apologise if that's how it came across.
For example, Someone might call Donkeyman DM, and I might then make a reference to giving him the boot.

All things that should never go down the drains.
Try putting some loo paper into a basin and see how easily it dissolves, then do the same with a tissue....it takes a lot longer. Then try a piece of kitchen paper.....longer again.
Then put some newspaper into water. You'll be there forever.
Now who would want that lot down their pipes to turn into papier-mâché?
We really do need to be more respectful of our sewerage system
After many years of course, as we became less poor, we graduated to Izal.
Actually, I say graduated, but the newspaper was softer on the bum.

In fact I found that the Telegraph and the Express made it all happen faster, the Daily Mail was good but the stamps scratched one's bum, The Mirror showed you what you didn't need to see and the Guardian was put outside to door to stop people pushing in.
Ah! Those were the days!

To be honest, I don't remember which newspaper my dad bought, but I suspect it was the Bradford Telegraph and Argus. I still have no idea which political leanings that newspaper had or still has, but it certainly left an ink imprint on your bum.

I'm now wondering who in the family shredded up the squares and threaded them onto the string when we ran out of Izal.
