   I picked this up from RT on another topic  [[  Living longer ]],   I hope all will be revealed

   regards the   Google   for '' The Clangers  '' ?      ;D   

   Had a real shock the other day when I wanted info on planting Papaver poppy  --

   perhaps I shouldn't have asked for ' cultivation ' !!     :o

    Got off quick !

"Clangers" seemed to be an American word for large breasts, a bit like Knockers I suppose

Why do the French call them "Roberts" BTW?

if only Radio 4's "Thought For The Day" was this interesting  ;D

the French for paper clip is "trombone" This is also a VERY RUDE WORD (I'm told)
