Oh, you can still get oilcloth...should you need any! I hear it especially good for covering up the table when there is going to be messy sticking or painting going on!

The other thing about the kitchen table was the little ledge where you could hide your toast crusts. We kids thought we'd got away with this, until the day some-one moved the table and out they all fell! We scattered quicker than chickens at plucking time!

Best wishes,
