One of my next door neighbours is dressing up as a woman. I hadn't seen him for some weeks but yesterday when I was taking out the rubbish I spotted him wearing lipstick with a skirt on, and was carrying a hand-bag. Must take some guts that mind.

Yea that was roughly the same, he used to use the crook of his hand between thumb and forefinger for multiples. When he went into farmer speak it was a different language, all lost now i suppose. Cheers for that very interesting.
