Who Remembers Sides-to-Middle?
Last night, I put my feet through a bed-sheet, creating a large hole.
I suspect, it was probably past its throw away date, but it got me thinking!
My mother would have cut the sheet in half, put the two good sides together and sewed them securely with her reliable 1930s-built Singer.
She used to call it Sides-to-Middle!
This sheet was a fitted one, which didn’t exist in the 1950s and 1960s!
So I doubt, it would have been possible anyway!
How to do Service?
Some years ago, my late wife bought a large double bed from And So To Bed. Unfortunately, the decorators broke a support when they moved it recently.
So I phone the firm and asked if I could buy a new support. A pleasant guy found the order and said that the bed was now discontinued. But he would try to find one and get it sent to me.
I can’t ask for more. Especially as if necessary, I can make one of my own.
But at least I’m only small and I suspect that the bed won’t collapse with my sixty kilos in it!
