Hi Sue I'm sitting here crying with laughter as well, because it's all so true!!! Jill You've reminded me of when in the early 80s we girls wore those zipped/or buttoned up all in one suits. What a nightmare they were when you were in a hurry!! Especially when on a girls' night out.......too much wine and then too long queues = nightmare!! Mau xx ;O))))) ( who always carries spare tissues) lol

O.C. We grew up of different continents, but did you also have a hankey with a coin knotted in one corner... in case you had to phone home... Never left the house without clean under wear and socks without holes just in case something happened. 'God Forgive' you landed up in hospital with 'holy' undies... Lindy ;-)))).

Sue Never a truer word spoken!!! lol Kim (who got sprayed in Lancaster Services last Sunday!!!!) x

I've never tried the handbag around the neck thing What a good idea. Viv

Lindy No, not the knotted hanky, but three pennies, sewn into a strip of linen, which was then safety-pinned to my waistband. This money was used on pain of death. I also had to carry a plastic mac everywhere, no matter how long or hot the summer was, and a plastic rain bonnet. And the parting shot, from the doorstep was 'Have you BEEN?' (My mother wasnt very keen on public loos, and neither am I) OC

O.C. lol... Parents are the same all over the world. where ever ( is that two words or one) the British conquered.. Lindy...nite nite off to bed now...;-)))

Yes, I have been there too. Men have it so easy. It just isn't fair.

Sue I didn't realise you were out with us last night! Now I know why my legs are killing me today, it wasn't the dancing it was holding the position! I once went out with both my sisters and we spent ages waiting for one of them who did not realise she had finished because the cistern kept constantly filling up and she thought it was her! Your story was brilliant.

omg Gillian, classic tale!!

Gillian, I'm just picturing it and the tears are running down my cheeks! LOL (that's me 'on the throne' not you!) Sue xx

Thanks very much !!! I have just spluttered tea every where !! Never laughed so much, and my poor dog is looking soooo worried,she thinks I have gone mad. Lol

Nudged because it is so funny !!

Thank you so much for a great laugh. Quite a few of my friends and I am sure many aussies call 'The Stance ' Kangarooing it ' same hold as a Kangaroo and with the occasional little bounce. I am one of the mothers though that wipe the seat and then line it with toilet paper for me children all while they have there hands on thier head so that they ' Don't touch anything'. The first thing they always want to touch is that little blue bin next to the toilet eeeewwwwwww. Mel

Brilliant Sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

n for tina

Thank you Sue, I, too, am crying with laughter at every sentence, captured to perfection. LOL Tina x

Brilliant Sue.....really Brilliant!!!!!!...LoL

Brilliant Sue:-)) As everyone else has said....so very true! I now need to go and buy a whole new set of handbags though! Just to get them over my head as the straps on mine are only little lol and trying to ' hold the position' and hold handbag and trousers at the same time is getting too much now. Thanks for the tips OC, hav'nt laughed so much in ages Wilf:-)

Wilf I know what you mean about buying a new bag, mine was small when I was out on Friday and left it hung on the back of the toilet door!! Only remembered it when I tried to take photos with OH's digital camera that was jammed into the bag! Ffortunately it was still there when I went back for it.

Never was pmsl more appropriate a term! I can relate to so many of these tales, and if you saw the size of my handbag (shoulderbag) and felt the weight, you would know why I have problems with my neck and shoulders. Maureen, I laughed when I read your post about those all in one, 'jump' suits (what a name - could make a comment but won't) presume they are named after suits one wears whilst parachute jumping!!! Also known as flying suits - ha ha, I made the dreadful mistake of wearing one once to travel in a plane. Have you ever tried to wriggle out of one of those in an aeroplane toilet? Doh! Liz
