...My Mum once told me(actually, it was more than once....it always is at least 'twice' with everything :D) that you could once buy '****** brown' cotton from sewing shops. Have a feeling that would be 50s/60s...(?)
....Mind you, if some on here waxing lyrical about getting a 'damn good thrashing' want to relive the experience.....the Friday Ad always seems to have a few ladies advertising 'that sort of thing'!
:facepalm: OMG.....this site goes from bad to unbelievable. Read the stuff YOU are posting people! - do you REALLY expect to be taken seriously? The 'school days' of some of the posters sound like child abuse to me.
