seawater
 

LOL - reminds me I once wore a "waterproof" wristwatch whilst sea swimming.
A bit of a misdescription if ever there was one and day by day thereafter the trapped
water under the face grew more and more algae so that I had a green timepiece with nothing visible any more.

the good old fifties
 

Back in 1956 I wore a very tiny brief made from shiny satin with laces that tied at the hip,was I pleased with those after my mum bought me the maroon woollen ones with a white belt. when you managed to get out of the water the crutch was down around your ankles.
Why there was a pocket on them escapes me at 12years of age I did`t have a car.
Anyway, my mum bought these tiny little tie-sides from woolworth`s,and I loved them,I felt quite daring as theyed showed "a bit more" of you.
does anyone else remember those? all the boys wore them back then.
keep well
