What were you doing a quarter of a century ago?

According to a recent item of nostalgia on a website , 25 years ago the California Podiatry Association advocated writing the alphabet in the air with your big toe to relieve tired, aching feet.


So it is good night from me.... and, G.O.O.D. N. I. G. H. T f. r. o m. m. y. t. o.e.s.......

Never a dull moment with feet

they weren't doing much according to the the overwhelming lack of responses cameron ............. but i bet ya there were some one-eyed's barracking for those CHEATING ALL-BLACKS back then (haden's dive against the welsh '78, ah yes...)

 

I was a student orthopaedic nurse and we were told to lie on our beds with our legs at right angles up the wall to relieve the ankle oedaema from 12 hour shifts. ahh the students of today, they don't know what hard work is like !!!!!

 

I was in grade one at primary school!

Now was that upper or lower case? Cursive or print?

 

carol, i suspect that student nurses still are, just as in Worthing Sussex England 25 years ago, lying in beds with their legs up

 

dear mark,
Sadly there are no longer student nurses, they are all too busy learning how to be managers at Brain Wash University. They no longer know how to make beds, let alone lie on them!!!

 

Let's see now. 25 years ago I was running a very successful Chiropody Practice in the North of England. In Sunderland to be precise. A prosperous town whose wealth relied heavily on shipbuilding and coal mining......

Shipbuilding was already on it's way out .
Quarter of a century would be, what - three years before the Miner's Strike?

Cheers,

25 years ago, I was living in a YWCA hostel in London with a bunch of ballet dancers, and a few students from the Foot Hospital and I was trying to get into dental hygiene.
Why didn't I think of Pod then? Well, I thought you had to be a guy, mostly, worked in hospital basements, mostly, had to have 'A' levels (I was schooled all over the world,) and had just done '0' levels in the UK, and they were not getting me into D.H.
OH, yes, note to the other Carol, I wouldn't be a nurse 'cos you were thought to be 'available'. I left the UK on a May day as Mrs T. came to power, and the world changed. Carole

 

Carole

You mean to tell me you have devoted 25yrs of your life into trying to be a dental hygienist? Surely not!

Your other post said you had just got in as on last year to Newcastle.

Yes,

Yes, and yes, every few years, I'd apply everywhere in the UK and in Oz, and get rejected. I wish I knew why. In theory I have the perfect qualifications, Is it really who you know? (I think it is, y'know) Yes, I got into Queensland 2 years ago, and transferred to Newcastle, but I feel it became a competition with myself to get in, and I lost the aim of actually doing the work, the others students at Queensland were horrid to those who didn't want to be dentists, definitely 2nd class humans. I have outgrown it, need to be my own boss. Carol
