Floaters and Sinkers

With a bank holiday about to hit, and most people (yeah, you) already having made the quick getaway, I wanted to leave something substantial on the blog for the weekend. Something for you to get your teeth into, if you have teeth.

When we were kids, my sister had a special name for Number Twos. She called them Badlies. "I need to go Badlies." I was always amazed this didn't catch on and enter the language in wider use. It could be in the Oxford dictionary by now.

I've heard them called Plop Plops, too, but not by anybody whose judgement I wouldn't question.
