Or then again, perhaps not!

Re: Dodgy hygiene practices
I usually have a glance through the papers online in the morning, and shrieked when I read in the Daily Mail that....icomefromalanddownunder wrote:Last Friday, while observing a set of very sweaty armpits, and discussing nerve blocks and Botox with a colleague, I had a flashback to being required to sew 'things' into the sleeves of our Sunday blouses. I remember them as being there to collect the secretions of our sweat glands, so that our blouses only required laundering once, at the end of term.
Please, someone, tell me that my memory is playing tricks!
If it isn't, is anyone able to answer the following questions?
Did we replace the offending objects only at the beginning of term?
Did we use new ones, or were they laundered?
Did they smell? How bad? How far into term did they become offensive?
Are they still available?
Red-carpet celebrities are sticking self-adhesive panty-liners into the underarms of dresses as dress protectors against the nervous perspiration brought on by the bright lights of Stardom!
Well really! Hertford Old Girls would have been thrilled not to have had to stitch in the rubberised variety! Not to mention having the panty-liners to use for the intended purpose anyway.
