OK, what have been your goofs in mixing up Brand names?
My old mum used to insist that the stuff you use to ease locks etc. was M40, not WD40.....
and I went into the chemist looking for some medicated shampoo, and asked them whether they had any T-Cut (not T-Gel) - that'd be fine if you want to strip all the hair from your head, madam....
How is Nibble taking the result ? I voted NO, most of my friends did as well. My brother really wanted to vote YES - but Nottingham isn't in Scotland and he didn't get a vote. Serves him right.
wolf, he's up there at the moment visiting his mum, so I haven't really gauged his response. He doesn't get a vote either, living in the Deep South these days.
40 years ago i worked in a shop. The boss was nice and friendly with everyone but his wife was over the top snooty. One day he came into work and said his wife had made a howler! He had been busy painting their flat and they had some visitprs round to see them and they were admiring his handiwork. His wife said it looks nice doesnt it. Its Durex you know, we wouldnt use anything else!
(She meant Dulux, of course!)
When I was in hospital once I got talking to one of the other patients on the ward and she was telling us she had just had her living room decorated and had a *** rail fitted round the room!
Also in the early 60's when a friend and I were young teenagers, we were watching TV with her Grandma when the Dulux dog came on in an advert and I blurted out, Oh It's the Durex doggie :-)
When I was 5 my mother sent me to the shop to buy a tin of Nescafé, in those days was pronounced Nescaff. I ran all the way to the shop repeating what I had to ask for but somehow I got it confused with Steradent aand asked for a tin of Steradaff. I had to run all the way back to confirm before making a second journey.
