    1. As a kid when we moved, which we did frequently, it was always at midnight and Father always told us to keep very, very quiet as he pushed his car off the drive before starting it.

  8. Wooohoooo, nothing like to sound of a working, flushing toilet. On a very different scale - I remember as a kid when we migrated from Rhodesia (showing my age) to NZ. One day my father snapped all the plastic knives and forks we were using. I was horrified - what will we eat with...

    The container of our "junk" arrived after what seemed like an eternity. I think the general condition of that stuff was similar to yours.
