Eh, you were lucky t' have sliderule. We used to dream of havin' a sliderule. Would ha' been a supercomputer to us. We use to use balls of cow dung strung along a bit o' sheep's gut. All sharin' it in a class of 1700 sat at one desk (well, we called it a desk, but t' were really just a piece o' roofing tin restin' on two bricks), all in a shoebox in t' middle of the road. Aye, and you try and tell the young people of today that...they won't believe you. Cheers, A Yorkshireman |

Yeah and you walked to school barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways and carried your lunch (a dried up biscuit) in a gallon molasses bucket. I know. Been there, done that. But it's true!

I once had to rebuff the chauffer for taking the corner next to the academy too sharply, causing me to spill my rum and cola.

I grew up in the north-east of Scotland. Can't imagine ever taking my shoes off in the bus. Unless they were stolen from off your feet of course, which I could envision happening in some areas where I've lived....
