N Smell:
Nappy bucket - Oh, the joy! No disposable nappies! They had to be soaked in Napisan and then boil-washed to get rid of those nasty stains. My only comment about today's A to Z smell is that at least the bucket had a lid!
N Memories:
The New Look - Christian Dior was the most influential fashion designer of the 1950s. His first post-war collection became known as the New Look. It was feminine and elegant and was an instant hit coming so soon after the austere war years. It featured tiny waists to show off that hour-glass figure [for those who had one!] Skirts were either straight and sophisticated or flared and pretty, which takes me to my next memory...
Nylon and net petticoats - My sister had some amazing petticoats, layer upon layer of net, some with a hoop sewn in, making her skirt stand out like a crinoline lady's. I was only allowed a small one but my net was rainbow-coloured and I loved it. The only problem with the full net petticoats was sitting down. Your skirt shot up into your face and everyone saw your knickers!
Normal Service will be resumed as soon as possible - This was a regular sight on our television screens. The transmissions were always breaking down.
