I always found that they slipped on wet concrete. I like the wellie socks, but I’m not so sure about the Hunters. I always found that they slipped on wet concrete.

Over here, we had door to door brush salesmen - they brought their wares in a large suitcase. The company was called Bettawear. The salemen would have bags of freebies with them, samples and the like, and we little ones got to choose somehting from our salesman's bag when he called. We liked the tiny tins (like lip balm) of lavender furniture wax. Back in those days (1950s)our floors were uncarpeted. The boards were painted black around the edges and rugs filled the centre. Our mother would have us polish the black border, on our hands and knees, with a yellow duster apiece, and those wee tins of polish. She managed to keep us occupied for HOURS this way! These days it would be termed child cruelty :-) Oh, Hunter, that reminds me of when I was small. Over here, we had door to door brush salesmen – they brought their wares in a large suitcase.

We quickly learned *not* to say we were bored. And I'm not really sure I can remember the last time I was bored (other than when I was too ill to do anything but be miserable). Maybe there's something to that 'two sorts of people' thing! Any cry of boredom as a child was met with an offer to find something for me to do…something like dishes or laundry or dusting or weeding.
