The reson you have not seen any one Ironing Winkles is that an Ironed winkles are in fact sticks of Chewing gum, Oh sorry thats Slugs is'nt it Winkles are Quavers you can never get them flat. |

Well I'm not trying it. I don't do ironing. Hubbie sees me weilding one of those and he'll start to get ideas! |

Funnily enough, that was hubbie's reaction when he saw this one and Chris's Grand National Sweepstake. Out of interest, has anyone actually TRIED ironing a winkle? |

Tracy How odd! My husband thinks that as I am mad and am always on this site, everyone else on the site must be mad too. I don't have any difficulty explaining it to him! nell |

Bill - that's just showing off! Not sure folding (or ironing) certificates is a good idea and it is definitely NOT good to use them for wrapping fish & chips - they aren't greaseproof. nell |

THANK'S FOR THAT- BILL ,I'LL KEEP PRACTICING. |

> Not just newspaper, any kind of paper While that is generally correct, an American high school student has recently been able to physically demonstrate that there are some circumstances in which a greater number of folds can be achieved in practice. The demonstration has no practical value (so far) apart from indicating the nature of the inherent constraints in the problem domain. Cheers, Bill Sydney, Australia |
