Re: How do you count "curtains"?
I've acted in a rendition of the Four Yorkshiremen sketch. There exists a photograph of me on stage, with a very fetching wig and stick-on moustache, a cushion up my jumper and my legs wide apart (!) in the throes of "You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt."
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
