5:20 a.m.
1 box (2000) normal light buff (off-white) colour,
around 500 of same with blue stripe, and several
dozen of various colours, all with the normal
numbers printed and "all unperforated - ha ha ha!"
(obscure and lame reference to a line in Flanders
and Swann's 'Have some Madeira, M'dear!' that was
apparently too risque for the American sensibility
;-).
Now I thought I knew most of Flanders and Swann, but
'all unperforated' doesn't bring anything to mind. Care to
explain (off list if it's not suitable for the general public).
I did find it mildly amusing that the Facit 4070 service manual
refers to totally blank tape -- not even feed holes punched --
as 'virgin tape' ;-)
