A duck walks up to a lemonaide stand and says to the man running the stand. Hey badabada got any grapes...

Something to try:
Search for “let it snow” in the Apple Store app.

Some thing to think about what would this forum be like without iPads.?

Some time back l wanted to find out how one of these sweetener dispenser things worked.

After cutting it into bits l was not much wiser. I did have a couple of hundred sweeteners saved. Anyway got hold of an half full one, got the top off, very carefully.

Just need to fill it up.
Oh my life is so full and wonderful l love it [emoji4]

Send me your sweeteners l need then all.....

I'm bingeing "What's My Line" episodes from the 1950s on YouTube. They're mysteriously compelling, perhaps for the honesty and civility of early live television. I find the glimpse into a simpler time fascinating. Here's a sample:

We had something similar. It was called “Was bin ich?” (What am I?). I loved it. It was interesting to get to know professions I had never heard of before, and it was as funny as the episode in your sample.

I knew there was a UK version, and I suspected there was a German-language version as well. Johanna, surely you did not watch the show in the '50s! (As I did...)

The US show ran with few changes from 1950 to 1968. I'm about to watch the one where the mystery guest was Francis the Talking Mule - Wikipedia.

No. I saw it in the ‘60s and ‘70s. The show here ran from 1955 to 1958, and then again from 1961 to 1989.

HAPPY 2018. TODAY IS THE 5TH DAY OF THE NEW YEAR.

Unfortunately, it appears that owners of iPads too old to install iOS 11.2.1 are out of luck. My wife's Mini, for example, is stuck at 9.2. I seriously doubt that Apple will release a fix for older devices--their idea of "up to date" is "buy a new one every year." She has no interest in a larger form factor, as the Mini fits neatly into a pocket in her purse.
