A lot of kids stuffed paper up the slot to stop money being returned. Go back at the end of the day and remove the paper – Jackpot!!!!

Or was that before your time?

If the phone rang while we were playing on the street there was a huge scattering match from all directions with all the kids to be the first one to answer it.

You’d have to be practically on your deathbed in The Netherlands to be given them. You get given paracetemol for practically everything here.

It must have been the slurry that violently disagreed with Herself. You could throw the unused antibiotics into the pit to see what happens. Stand well back though! Superbugs love a good fight.

Dave – I will be honest and say I would miss my broadband [you would all miss by blog too????].

I could live reasonably happily without ATMs, mobiles phones and the TV. As long as I have my books….

I can’t get a mobile phone signal where I live, or broadband.No out of hours doctor. Nearest ATM is miles away.

I know, I should move. But I like it :)
