The General Chat Room

Really? I think mine is quite new - and the problem used to be that the stuff began to coagulate after a few weeks. Tippex thinner used to remedy that problem, but the manufacturers stopped making thinner when they added a new ingredient that slowed down the coagulation process. (I was told this by my stationers - the same ones who provide me with Carbon paper and Banda Masters!)

Quite cloudy and muggy today, with a couple of rain flurries.

Was the thinner (1,1,1 Trichloroethane) not banned because too many people were sniffing it, or drinking it, or something?

Banda - there's a blast from the past! Are these machines still in use? Presumably then Gestetner are also.

is a rain flurry like a mac flurry? (only seen them advertised , never tried one of course).

The Prom that night was mainly of twentieth century French music performed by the BBC Scottish.

Runnicles conducting a not too bad Daphnis - were boarders commenting on it or 'chatting' to avoid it?

... I call them "frocks". Mme V tells me they are now called "dresses". And apparently "blouses" are now "shirts".

Language changes. But I feel I'm stuck in the 1950s.

I seem to remember it being referred to as blunder juice!
