Re: Wendy
in reply to a message by Pie
I used to know two wonderful sisters called Shirley and Wendy! Retro chic.
There used to be Wendy houses all over South Africa, but now I think they've been replaced in the national vocabulary by Zozos, Zozo being a company that makes such things, also portable loos, that kind of product. Made of metal, mostly, so uncomfortably hot but useful.
Wendy is firmly 1920s or 1930s to me. Those clothes, those cars, the friends called Rosemary and Diana, and indeed Moira and Angela ... the chance of dancing with a man who'd danced with a girl who'd danced with the Prince of Wales. Oh yes. Peter Wimsey, Albert Campion, Bertie Wooster.
I wouldn't use it, but then I've got a son named Peter.
