People are made of flesh and blood and a miracle fiber called courage.

There are some folk without that miracle fibre!

Thos.

Yes, but they go into politics and really don't count. :drinks:

Miracle fibre......I wonder if that's where the name Courtelle came from? :rolleyes:

One of my work colleagues in the 50's, had been a development chemist with Tootal Broadhurst Lee. One day, whilst doing some work with a new crimped cellulose acetate fibre, he came out with a wonderful little parody on the old Nylon advert.

"Nylon....made by man with woman in mind...............Crimped cellulose acetate .....made by man with nothing in mind."

Well I laughed until tears ran down my leg.
