Post by: flossy on March 09, 2009, 08:52:38

 


   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?
