When I was young, it said on the milk bottle tops - 'tuberculin tested'. There were dire warnings about not drinking unpasteurised milk
yup, my father spent around five years strapped to a bed sleeping outside on the veranda of the Ethel Hedley Orthopaedic Hospital for Children on the banks of Windermere at Calgarth after catching TB of the spine from contaminated unpasteurised milk. I still can't bring myself to drink 'green top' after his warnings though Doth, my wife - brought up with summers at the family farm by Ullswater, is used to it staight from the cow.
Does anyone else know what I am talking about
more than you'd think - they made a comeback during the last decade of the 20th century as pogs.
or am I going daft in my old age?
well..... ;-)
we used to use the tinfoil ones as mini frisbees
