Just talking to my friend, she said she had noticed the Oxfam campaign.and commented how long would it take men to start fancying young girls wearing bras.? Then it all got a bit silly with nuns and women in burkas , perhaps we should educate the men instead !!

I agree Lindsay and Men need to be educated on the word no and that is not the correct way to behave!!

Well I never knew Oxfam took old bras....such a good idea... as what do we women want with old ones? and for such a good cause too.

A few years ago I bought a new sewing machine and was able to give my very old,but working machine, to a charity in Newcastle called Tool Aid. It sent all sorts of workable machines/tools etc. onto cargo boats to Africa. I still have the telephone no. but not sure if it's still running.

However I've found an address for another project which could be useful if anyone wants to take a look?

I had some film sent to me to be developed from the Central African Republic which I was never able to return.

One of the ladies on there is wearing a Triumph Doreen, the substantial ones, as a best top for a christening.
