I feel sorry for people who need to act like a 7 year old to gain attention 1l2e & from looking at your history this is the only thread you have participated in i.e. I would suggest you take up a decent hobby such as genealogy which may improve your brain cells  :-\

He had a lot of you going for  a long time and it was very funny.  I don't see much wrong with his brain cells.

I agree, Mike, it was quite harmless and entertaining.  ;D ;D ;D  He'd obviously done a bit of research, as from what I've read about the custom, some of the facts were correct - just set too late and in the wrong area.

I think most of the others thought exactly the same 'wind-up' (but didn't want to say) hence all the questions.

Sadly I disagree where brain cells are concerned or he would have used ages/terms/dates/locations more fitting & believable  ;D

I guess we are just too polite and want to give people the benefit of the doubt, hence the probing rather than just saying after the first post, "1970s you must be joking!"  ;D ;D

Considering the use of "diaper" and "bathroom" (sorry Annie) which are terms adopted by young people who have been exposed to through American TV and films, I suspect 1l2e is on the youngish side.

I do wonder what brought him to this site and this thread which he felt compelled to join and contribute to. Google possibly? If so, what search terms?

If you'd like to come back 1l2e, I would be interested to know.  ;D

He could have been around for ages.  It used to be quite common for people to register under several different names and to use them simultaneously, sometimes even to converse with themselves.
