Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 You Remember! I wear one - I have brought apples, lemons, passionfruit, fejoas, oranges & tamarilloes in from the garden in it, not dusted (whats dusting??) but eased things out of the oven with it - but then they used to say that Oz is 50 years behind the rest of the world. Mainly wear it when i feed the dogs so I dont get my clothing dirty & then it stays on for a while - but not long, as I'm usually running to work ........ I'll have to wear it for longer now seeing as it has so much potential - even if I rarely see the grandchildren!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I think it's time to bring back the apron. Think of all the "labor saving devices" and chemical products we could eliminate!
