Dripping yes indeed ...
What about bread, sugar and warm milk...or soft boiled egg in bread... poor farmer meals...vegimite in hot water with bread... if you eat that day I mean.
My grandfather was extrodinary fella...tuff as...when I was 22 and he was 72 he could beat me in an arm wrestle ...later no one could beat me but he was then not around to see if I could match him...
There was a country show and as was the custom a greezed pig was let loose in the ring..who caught it got to keep it..a wonderful prise in those days...a young fella caught it but two outta townwers (in a horse and sulky so they were slick) took it and no one would stand up to them ..except my grandfather...dropped them both and gav e the pig back to the kid who caught it fair and square.
He would get me each year and I had to tell him blow by blow each fight I had since I saw him last...
He did me such a favour...he told me if I started a fight I would get a flogging but if in a fight and I lost it I would get a real flogging...as a result I always had to block the first flurry of punches when someone picked on me ...but after that I could cream them... but I developed a great defence cause I did not want to get the greater flogging.
He was an inspirational person.
