Nice anecdote Steve.

It would be great if one of bettyanne's rellies worked in animation.

Pity he Disney.  ;D

 ROTF! That was just Perfect!  ;D I've just got in and poured myself a nice one. Thank god I didn't have a mouthful when I read that!

 I wonder if an American would be able to fathom what makes that so funny, coming from you?  ;D

What a hoot Dave - before the move to Oz in the 1960s I worked for a stationery company in Edinburgh that made those wee boxes to put a bit of wedding cake in.  The factory was split into lots of unions and that particular lot were the boxmakers, not to be confused with bookmakers although they ran a pretty good sweep.  The cardboard to make the boxes was delivered by another union from the floor above, one particular lassie had to make the bows to go on the wee boxes and that was a different union again.  Just to finish it off, the packers' union gathered up all the wee boxes and put them into bigger cartoons, maybe.  No wonder Bettyanne is confused - so was I then!  Gillian
