I reckon its because people take more care of their pets now and that animals are eating better than some humans. Isn't white muck a sign of a vitamin deficiency? |

I dont know why but I had to do it and google. Apparently it could be because dogs ate more bones plus a lot of cereal was added to dog food years ago too which changed the colour of their poops! Plus dog owners now have to clear up after their little darlinks lol. |

I never see kiddies these days with their mittens / gloves dangeling from elastic at the ends of their coat sleeves............I guess that gloves are so cheap now that if one is lost a new pair are bought. |

I made sure I brought the toasting fork back from my mother's after she died, long brass one with a stag at the end, used many times when I was a child to toast crumpets and bread. |
