The Twopenny hangover "sleeping over a rope"

[Jane Coram]

Hi smezenen,

I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, it must have been a terrible shock to you all, but I'm glad to hear it sounds as if your wife is on the mend now. She's lucky she's got you to take care of and pamper her until she is back on her feet again.

Much love and a big hug

Jane

Hi Smezenen

Best wishes to your wife. You now have better things to do than the experiment.

PS I hope the car wasn't towed away with a rope.

Oh no. Horrible news. Hope she is home with you soon.

On the topic of the thread I have seen a picture somewhere from 1920s Germany, probably 1923ish showing people sleeping 'on the line'. I think it was in my GCSE textbook from when I was taking mine. (as opposed to teaching them)

Funny you should mention that. I found this discussion on it, which also mentions the german picture. I have contacted the teacher who claims to have a copy of the books, but if anyone else has the book, we now exactly where a photo can be found. It's now just a matter of locating the book and then we'll have a confirmed picture.

We are switching to teaching Germany next year so I have look through our new books.

[KatBradshaw]

Here is one.

Try again

Good stuff Kat.

[Brenda]

YES!!!! Real proof! Photographic evidence.

[Ally]

Finally. Illogic and rampant idiocy goes down in flames. Score one for logic and reason. Although Kat, it would be helpful if you'd resize it so the picture would fit in frame?

Speaking for Harry, I'd suggest that that photo was from the 1930s. Also, I'm not so sure that they are sleeping, or that they paid for the rope. That means we still don't have sufficient proof, and especially with regards to the LVP.

Cheers,

Mike

For heaven's sake, make sure you get all the info from that book, including name of publisher, which edition, and any photography credits.
