I always thought Chris Hogg was male but today's post proves me wrong!
LOL

Quote "was a breast-feeding baby" not "was breast feeding a baby"!
Any baby that sucked on my dugs would have got very hungry!

As they would from any breast-feeding baby :-)

[ I think that you meant "breast-fed baby" ]

No, I meant breast-feeding, although breast-fed would also be
acceptable. 'Feeding' can mean either consuming food or giving food.
'When I was a baby feeding from the breast' quite acceptably can be
shortened to 'when I was a breast-feeding baby' just as 'when I was a
baby eating rusks' can become 'when I was a rusk-eating baby'.

Totally agree, Chris. I always knew you were a man - I can tell from your
posts ;-)
