I bought one for my outlaw, from a big bookshop for an arm and a leg, she wont use it but she wont give it back. I have a jewellers magnifier, it makes me laugh when people piut it to their eye the wrong way round, I also have an optician's magnifying glass in a leather case it flips over on a hinge, my great great uncle was an optician.hi.all my dad sent off for a piece of plastic that you put on a newspaper to make the print larger,so you could read
it.i had that for years and used it to look at wiring diagrams in workshop manuals. but sadly i have lost it
Yowm only uz ode us the mon yowm faylin wench!I have sent to womens freebies on several occasions and the only thing that came was definately not for a woman of my age!!!!!
I had a soft gollywog a brooch and pottery ones saved from the Robinsons jar, re your PC comment . I have never seen a person yet that lloks like a Golliwog, but I have seen people who look like Jemima from Jackanory, I used to work with a chap whose nickname was The Honey Monster. I have seen babes who look like cabbage patch dolls. One of mu boss's nicknames was Plug, (from the Bash Street Kids) another was Basil Brush and Mr Potato Head, and they knew they were called that. Maybe they ought to get offended.I have quite a few Golliwogs, and they are still sold around this area too. Can't be doing with all this PC nonsense. My son had one when he was a little boy, in the 1960's. it's also a bit ragged now, but he still keeps it. I am still sending for things, sent for an Elizabeth Arden lipstick this week out of a magazine, just had to pay the postage of £2.99...a bargain eh?
There was a news item last year I think that the Queen's souvenir shop sells gollies too.I have quite a few Golliwogs, and they are still sold around this area too.
