Drinking glasses

[Ashy]

Something occurred to me this morning, I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered the drinking glasses we had in our house in the 50s and 60s, they had coloured drawings on them like maybe boats and seaside. Whereas all my glasses today are plain. Is it just me?

Did you get them with Green Shield Stamps Ashy  ?

Have I misunderstood your post, Ashy?
How would they fix a drawstring to glass because glass is rigid?     What could they possibly tighten?

Drawstring  ?

Drawstring  ?

Glad it isn't just me.

I meant where did the word drawstring come from

Put the kettle on Mups !  but maybe a bit late for tea, perhaps a G & T - just a small one

I remember drinks glasses with pictures on. The ones I recall were pretty small though and I think more ornamental than practical. Might even still have one and will add a picture tomorrow if I remember and can find one.
