When I grow up I wanted to have short hair (cos I wasn't allowed to cut it).  (now I have short hair out of necessity, can't raise one arm above my shoulder so its to hard to do long hair and I wish it was still long, shoulder length is as long as I can go)

^^^ Oh Love that post @Wee fluffy me ... I um'ed and ahh'ed about Thatcher but for the reason that she showed me better than anyone else had that a women could make it, succeed and bet top dog in a 'man's world'... and that sign, can I assume fanny means the same in Scotland as it does here.. although the sign works with the US meaning of fanny too.

 

 Józef and Wiktoria Ulma - Polish Farmers who hid Jews during the holocaust... were executed along with their 6 children and 8 Jews they were hiding in May 1944... they new the risks and took them because it was the right thing to do, I would like to think i would do the same.
