    As we live near the river I shall send the wife down there with the old scrubbing board, they did that in this area up until 1962/63. Many of the elder local ladies miss the social aspect of this ritual 'though find the machine easier.

    Hi Datatek, I haved noticed that the ladies are the worst offenders flying around the country lanes never thinking there may be a tractor coming around the next bend. BTW which side of Poitiers are you? I am on the Le Blanc-Chauvigny side.
