Kia Ora,
Yes! Yes! I remember it well.
(Catching up on my mail. )
I was talking to young ones just before Christmas. They have never heard of it.
Called 'Gripfix' with its own little brush and we made paper chains that you
bought at the sweet shop for a penny a packet. The smell said Christmas is
coming and we covered the house with these long chains of coloured paper.
Lovely memories of childhood days. Thank you Janet.
----Best Wishes Maggie----
