| I was hurtling along Saxon Drive thinking that I'd never seen a mattress there, when I suddenly did see one. I crouched behind a car to get this shot because the matt's owner was just returning home with her nipper. |

| Smart Set commented on 09.25.05 | | Rebecca, I feel I must confess to you that I'm getting a bit tired of mattresses... |

| Rebecca commented on 09.25.05 | | Not so much I think. Sometimes it's hard for me to be sure of the difference because I have more British exposure than many. |

| Rebecca commented on 09.25.05 | | Oh, some call those "steamers." |

| Smart Set commented on 09.25.05 | | A nipper is generally a child of any age, but it's usually applied to very young ones, perhaps because they might nip (bite) your ankles. |

| ART commented on 09.23.05 | | funny word : nipper, have to remember that when I have my own nipper, when are you qualified to be one? |
