ThERe was much joyous laughter as the old folk talked about their past. Observing a younger woman with her baby-kit heading off to change a disposable nappy, they talked about the terry-towelling nappies, nappy pins, boiling the soiled ones, drying them on the outdoor line. "At least we didn't generate so much waste in those days", one of them mused. Another one started talking about the food they ate. "You know, tripe made for a really fulfilling meal, even though the smell of making it was not all that pleasant." And so, the conversation wandered through the recollections of the past.
