Re: braces

    For those of us blessed with Fingerspitzengefühl,
    Jim, the need for thought doesn't arise - certainly
    not the need to Think Too Much.

    Memory is, however, mandatory - even the traumatic
    memory of being suffocated with dental composition
    while having a cast made for one's brace in 1941, just
    around the fall of Kharhov & the arrival in Casablanca
    of Ingrid, aka Ilsa.

    I suppose someone DID mention, did they, the droll use
    of 'braces' in these islands to denote what Yanks call
    'suspenders'? (God, this subject is tedious.) Which
    suspenders, you might say - to Michael's continuing
    bewilderment - are the items one's grandfather used
    to fasten under his knee to maintain a sleek tautness
    of the hose beneath the trouser cuff.
