Those sixth formers have got form.
“Further to Ross Storey’s story about carrying a small car upstairs , during my final year at Asquith Boys High, we sixth formers did a good deed for the teachers,” claims Murray Hutton of Mount Colah.
“We offered free car washes for all of them. Trouble was, we parked the cars nose-to-tail in a circle on the oval, with the final one carefully slotted into a small gap like a keystone. We didn’t hang around to see how they managed to extricate the vehicles from the closed loop.
” “In the early 1970s, I parked my Mini Minor in the car park adjacent to a sports ground to play football,” recalls Neil Nicoll of Waverton.
“After the game the Mini was gone, but there it was about 20 metres away with a note under the wiper that read ‘needed your car spot to park the ambulance near the oval’. ” “The new airport metro trains are on their way to the Orchard Fields Stabling Yards,” observes Peter Reddel of Camperdown.
“What is their horsepower? ” Dunno, but they’re bound to be flighty. Seppo Ranki of Glenhaven is curious as to why Business Council of Australia CEO Bran Black called for a “fulsome inquiry” into tax changes: “Does he really want a sickly, cloying and disgusting inquiry? Maybe he’s not a Rhodes scholar like his supporters?
” “Dear Granny, your readers seem to be very well informed,” notes Faye Taylor of Kelso.
“Perhaps one of them could explain why it is that birds only poop on the white clothes on the clothesline? ”While Tim Slack-Smith of Castle Hill thinks it’s sad news that “Mary Holmes’ long-lasting clothes dryer finally took its last tumble”, Carole Baxter of Woodgate Beach totally gets it: “Pleased to read Mary’s Simpson dryer lasted 55 years. I bought one in 1981 in Brisbane, gave it to my son in 2002.
He took it to Biloela, Qld, then to four houses in WA, and it still works. Hopefully, my 2001 model will continue on for a long time too. ” David Roberts of Dondingalong says, “our early 1970s Hoover is still going well, though it did develop a bit of a knock 20-odd years ago, which I should look into one day”.
Lastly, a desperate plea from Neil Jones of Panania: “Can Granny please do something about the ‘existential impact of cohort’? ”You have reached your maximum number of saved items.
