<Anyone remember those big earthenware bottles the "Pop" man as hot water bottles when I was little, pre-Central Heating! We used to have those earthenware bottles shaped like a pig that mum used as hot water bottles, so they became 'piggies' and I *still* call hot water bottles, 'piggies'. My kids think it's hilarious! :o) Cheers Pauline K in Oz -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
