Clapping - too noisy?

I am just glad not to having to Lauder all those hankies.....sounds like you could keep a Chinese laundry in businesses

I always sent my kids to school with a little cotton hankie when they were small. Haven't seen one for ages.
Yes we were always asked at the door...have you been to the toilet, have you got clean underwear on, have you got a clean hankie???
Can you imagine the court case these days if a teacher asked if you're wearing clean underwear?
I was always told to wear clean underwear in case I was knocked down by a bus.
Which is a strange idea, 'Cos guess what first thing is you would do if you saw a bus heading towards you?
I remember(in my youf) seeing little old men, bowed over, in long grey coats, wandering around the town centre looking in the gutters for 'fag ends'.
They probably weren't old(worn out early by working in the mines or mills) but they looked it.The good old days?
They all had one thing in common- a big 'dewdrop' on the end of their noses. It was that I noticed most.
Now, in my old age, I have the same problem as MargaretR has and they had- a permanently runny nose.
I haven't got a cold, it's just like a dogs nose- wet!
Funnily enough sitting down for a hot meal really sets it off?
So I always have a hanky handy and yes I go through a few. Don't want a pocket full of soggy tissues.
The joys of getting old- I'm thinking of buying a long grey coat but I'll draw the line at old 'fag ends'.
You've got to get yourself into the part, the role.
Wearing a black leather biker outfit on my Suzuki Hayabusa with a dew drop on the end of my nose just wouldn't look right.
Having my chauffeur lean around passing me a kleenex just to keep the upholstery dry in my Bentley is something I also attempt to avoid, hence a good old fashioned cotton hanky!
During the TV coverage of the royal jubilee debacle I recall a close up of Phil the Greek removing a nose drip onto a finger of his white kid glove.
So maybe they are part human
You've cracked it, MargaretR!
It's the genes from our Royal ancestors which cause it!
They say breeding will out but I can think of better ways.
I do have the RHneg blood which the royals insist is essential when they inbreed, but I shudder to think that I am maybe distantly related to that parasitic lot.
the question was always asked by mother or grandmother....never a teacher.
I think they assumed that this question had been asked prior to you leaving the house.
He only did this because he wasn't brought up in Lancashire and daren't use his sleeve...that braid would make a helluva mess of your nostrils.During the TV coverage of the royal jubilee debacle I recall a close up of Phil the Greek removing a nose drip onto a finger of his white kid glove.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, circumstances could almost be as bad as reading a local newspapers display of the news then being harassed because you thought they had attempted to be accurate.
I'm disappointed; I thought this thread would be about defecating cows.
Last time I saw a cow defecating it was a very quiet event.
The noise only started when someone stepped in it.
