Talking of clothing for the nether regions, have any of you seen these new fangled knickers called thangs

Mind you, I wouldn't call em knickers , more like a washing line and about as much use as a fart in a colonder

What these young whippersnappers need is a good pair of white bloomers that go up to the waist and down to the knees. That's what they need.

Super, let's form an old-ladies traditionalist values club - so far we have Doris, Gertrude, Gladys and Renie... any other takers?
Ethel - or has that name been taken already? (Couldn't be bothered to read through 26 pages!!!!)

Can I please join as Lydia? It's actually my favourite girls name, but nobody I know likes it!

You can call me Liddy or Lid for short. I answer to most thing anyway!

Who's that girl screeching at? Sounds like my old cat! Just knitting a new blanket for my poor old knees. Anybody want a few squares? I've plenty left, dears.

Lydia is one of my favourite names. Not so sure about Lid though. I like to make crochet squares but find all the ends a real pain to finish off. I just cut 'em off so the things just fall apart after one wash. I suppose the answer is never to wash 'em. Adeline
