Re: What was it called?
No, they were known as 'coms'......combinations.
They were a combination of vest and long johns and from what I remember they were only worn by the older folk(Unisex too,before unisex was thought of)......liberty bodices were for children

That should read diazepam....... I have a new wireless keyboard and I'm sure it jiggles the letters around when I'm not looking.

Re: What was it called?
I don't know Heth, but I never used to make as many typos as I have since I got this new keyboard....so I'm not taking all the blame!

Re: What was it called?
I'm seriously thinking of going back to my old one........I would just have to renew some of the letters, which have gone very faint........I thought that going wirelss would be an improvement!

Re: What was it called?
I loathe using the keyboard. Having 4 semi-numb fingers is a real nuisance.
Also I need to support my head with my left hand to ease my arthritic neck. Today I have discovered the Microsoft On-Screen keyboard, so can type using mouse only - wonderful!.
