SP: "But -geez they have dropped some clangers over the years.

Loved it when the Queen mum came out of hospital

and slipped on the steps --the announcer said-

she landed ok and is waving a gaily decorated crutch

at the crowd---lol."

I am perplexed SP, why is it a clanger? I once had a scrunched ankle and used  crutches to move around, but they were not as cheerful as these crutches:-
