My grandmother had one of those. Interesting gadget. Thing of the past, I guess. Now there is electric with battery. (no risk from el. shock as some old had )

I still use a hot water bottle. One is on my lap as I write this. Far cheaper than electric. Just because it's old technology doesn't make it any less useful

You need to ask Papillon he was an Argyll & Southerland Highlander who wore kilts.

It was where we carry our money and flask. A traditional kilt had pockets if you folded them in. Modern kilts are just for show now. As are the sporrans.

3:50 a little slap... nice girls... they remind me of two girls me & a guy picked up from the Raploch in stirling. were rough ..started fighting too. one had home made tattoos all over. I still had my evil way with one of them though. a blond girl.

 

[sexpert]

kids playing in the puddles...lol. changed now though. The Raploch in stirling was rough in the 70s & 80s. I knew a guy who was in the Navy, was on Submarines. He picked up a girl & ended up in the Raploch, the Father & brother of the girl robbed him. Of course not all were bad people there. My Father drove a Butcher van down there & sometimes i went with him. Always got given money of the women there. were hard people but also generous too.
