Skipweasel's Comments

Nearly twenty years ago we went to Edinburgh Museum, which at the time had decade-themed rooms, one of which (50s, I think) had white pyrex cookware with red roses on. We both said "Oooh, we had them!" The first instance of seeing something we grew up with in a museum. As the years have passed, we've had it happen a lot more often.
Best place for it is the Land of Lost Content http://www.lolc.org.uk/ which collects the sort of things that don't get kept in museums. You can lose yourself for a whole day just remembering things. It's not far from us - must go again.

At least we in Europe still get proper borosilicate glassware. Pyrex brand in the US is no longer proper heat-resistant glass, as a number of customers have found out to their cost. It's toughened - but not properly heat-resisting in the way it used to be, and the way the european brand is.

I use YYY/MM/DD on all the computers and phones in the house, but I can't persuade anyone (including myself) to write it that way. Writing by hand...almost universally DD/MM/YY in the UK.

It'd be interesting to see a control done with the same kid just after they'd washed their hands. And then again after they'd washed them properly, which in my experience no eight year old does...or can.
