Sorry Ina, but an olde worlde gentleman such as I has difficulty defining the object in question other than in the most circumlucatory fashion.  Would it help if I said that the popularity of the object as a protective device diminished as a result of the advent of The Pill, prior to which it was extremely popular among those ladies who did not fully trust the precautions taken by their gentlemen friends.

Hugh, are you trying to say anti conception device as in diaphragm? Can't be that hard to say, even for a gentleman from the olde world. So tell me please (preferably in words that have less than 6 syllables), Dutch cap is not a mushroom at all? Can't find it in any dictionary.

Tonight I plan to wear my wooden shoes and Dutch cap (the lacy type).

[Hugh_Jones]

Ina, you`ve got it in one.  However, being an exceptionally olde worlde gentleman I only ever use the word diaphragm in connection with the inhalation and expulsion of air from the lungs - especially by the larger chested prima donnas of the opera world.

Wear the lacy version!

Ina
.....Well done I think you actually made Hugh blush...

..... Now perhaps we should get him to explain the menstrual cycle, or even double-digging........

 Can I have first pickings of the merry men please?

[Hugh_Jones]

Menstrual cycle Robin?  Don`t think I`ve ever ridden one of those.  Does it have two wheels or three? NO, wait! I`ve got it now.  It`s the one that has a puncture every time you want to ride it.

HUGH!.......get back behind that bike shed immediately!!...




................we're missing you!  ;)

Hugh, your reply had me laugh out loud I should have known better than to mess with the master  ;D
