I've still got my Mum's mincer, although I managed to somehow destroy the wooden handle while drying it in the oven. But its still usable if needed.
Jan, that made me remember - we lived in the country when I was a kid & it was my job to collect a billy of milk from the local farm. It was a bit of a walk across a couple of paddocks & over or under one or two fences. And as I walked, I used to swing the billy, just a bit to start with but eventually one day, I overdid it & started swinging it around at arms length.
Inevitably, the lid came off & milk went everywhere - I was not the favourite child & was sent straight back to the farm to get more milk. The farmer did manage not to actually laugh, but there was one hell of a twinkle in his eye.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
