When a 'sprog' at our village school during WWII, I was the 'ink monitor', that meant mixing ink powder with water to make the ink we used. It had to be made just right or it would 'run' when applied to the very poor quality paper we had then or would clog and leave blobs everywhere. ... day's of innocence ... I wonder what would happen these days without their 'Bic' pens or calculators.
