You've just reminded me of those little bottles of milk we used to have in school, the milk was quite thick in the summer Yuk !

I agree.. Her boys had far more protection and care then any other child from any other background..
It is all very sad for any child to lose a loving parent..
But .. let it go.. It keeps being brought up again and again...

We mollycoddle the school children..
They are pretty smart.. They know that if they moan enough about anything it will be sorted.. in their favour..

We didn't take water bottles to school.. We all used the tap/water fountain in the play area..
Just imagine it.. Every kids mouth had touched the tap.. And nobody died..  :grin:

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:45:59 AMHow about a UV filter to kill the algae? That can't kill the fish. I don't know how effective they are as I've never fancied the problems a pool presents but I do know it was what one neighbour had.

I also remember the cursing I heard coming from another neighbour years back. Turns out he'd use the wrong concentration of a chemical fix and had killed off a lot of expensive koi.
Our huge filter has UV, it shifts up to 60000l per hour, what we have is blanket weed..the stringy algae. , just on some of the  edges of the pond . I am wary of using chemicals at this stage of my koi ignorance so I will continue to hand weed and keep aerating

I too wore a mini skirt.. If I bent over.. my knickers would show.. And I knew it..
 My mum would look at me when I was dressed to go out .. High knee boots .. mini skirt.. tight jumper..

The Chat Room / Mini Skirts or Pelmets ?
Last post by muddy - Yesterday at 09:07:56 AM
I walked the dog out early this morning and on the way back met a bunch of schoolgirls trailing to the bus stop .
They were all teenage girls and were all wearing what appeared to be pelmets .
They could not possibly bend over more than a centimetre or go up one step without revealing all ,
I am of the mini skirt generation but really these were shorter than short .
Am I getting prudish in my old age or is too short really too short ?
