First, skiiny one, was played by Richard Clarkebut ~ they then changed the husband to a tubbier one played by Peter Moynihan ..... they never explained to the public why or how she changed husbands.

Though I am told that during the war young ladies used to use gravy browning to tan their legs I don't think THAT tan is Bisto ~ looks too natural to me.

[Nick]

Wasn't it rationed then?

[Snoopy]

  Presumably not ............ but then more stuff was rationed after the war than during it and by that time the Yanks had arrived with their nylons.

Ah…

My mother recalled how they would stain their legs with gravy browning and draw a line down the back with an eye liner for the seam.

She also had an apoplectic fit each time that Hovis advert proclaimed they had ‘real bread and real butter just after t’ war’

[Nick]

and draw a line down the back with an eye liner for the seam.

Have you ever tried drawing a straight line down the back of your own legs?

No, I thought not.

It can't be possible.

[Snoopy]

Why do you suppose wimmin always go to the toilet together?

[Nick]

To draw on each other?
