I wonder what this is...

 

[Craftalot]

Those ammunition boxes that have been repurposed, maybe?

 

[Brissles]

We've had the metal and the suede, perhaps its the dreaded 'pleather' (just call it plastic for heaven's sake).

 

[lynnonthelake]

I absolutely hate the word pleather it puts me right off buying anything especially when they describe biker jackets as this material.

In “my day” it was called leatherette !

Leatherette trousers ha ha ha ha ha. They might have been a thing back in the 80's. I didn't have any.

In my 'day' it was leather or suede. The only plastic 'innovation' were sandals in lurid colours that we wore on the beach and in the sea - they were great for preventing toes being stubbed on the rocks. Leather 'outfits' we only saw on Dianna Rigg in the Avengers

Call it what you like - it’s plastic - full stop

 

[ERICS MUM]

I remember my Grandad had a black leatherette armchair. I inherited it when I bought my first flat - in fact it was the only piece of furniture I had to sit on, apart from an old single bed. If I moved while sitting in it, it squeaked. Eventually all the plastic peeled off and it had to go. By that time I’d bought a settee !

You reminded me of Nanna in Royle family .. “in my day it was called the menopause “ ( not intimating that you are old Eric’smum x

It must be 15 years since I considered my ‘menopause” over, but I’m not old !!!

 

[Brissles]

Would that be the 'change of life ?" shortened to "the change" - well thats what it was called by my Gran and Mum. Menopause was rarely used, and as for the term "trimester" in a pregnancy, I had to asked what it meant only a few years ago as I'd never heard it mentioned before.

 

[Clothescloth]

The words (THE CHANGE) were never spoken, only ‘mouthed’, with folded arms. Think Les Dawson and Roy Baraclough (?) as Cissy and Ada!

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Oh yes!

 

[Brissles]

So true C C In Yorkshire that was even more true ...... "she's going thru t'change tha knows " .

At the end of the day if you're a woman (ooops sorry, - a person who has a vagina ) then like having your monthlies aka periods, the menopause is just a right of passage. Its life.

Kim and Co has a line of trousers and jackets that they describe as looking like the most expensive leather on the outside but having non heat producing fabric on the inside. Apparently these garments don't make you sweat. At all! Surely they are stretching the boundaries of reality too far on this one. They are funny looking things.

 

[Clothescloth]

Oh yes!

A hysterectomy was always referred to as the ‘major’

I heard it being called "having the plumbing removed" My friend had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago and she said it was a breeze! I'm not convinced it was though.
