Remember coming down the back stairs and it was just totally open....you slipped you were dead. I do remember them, our local bus company had a couple for a while, but I didn't get to travel on buses until I started High School back in '70. By then they had gotten rid of most of them and my school bus was an old White semi-trailer bus because of overhanging trees on the route. We got on the bus at the halfway point and still had over 1/2hr ride to school, mostly standing because of crowding. The return was no better, but sometimes we got a seat . 4 Quote

Vinegar is best, but if you can't find a vinegar station....get people to pee on it as fast as possible. No one wants the pain (that will stop your heart) or the lifelong scars. 2 4 Quote

Somehow I can't connect Australia with lederhosen. Had a pair at that age, and still have a pair that fit. Great and indestructible for small boys, and even better. most have a jackknife pocket on the right side! 4 Quote
