I hope you know what you're doing: showing interest</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">about wooden strap-on ice skates; and then you're

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm sure some experts will tell more you about these</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">had strap-on ice skates... except for some prudish</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

[which they weren't of course] and these girls always</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">had pink shawls and paleblue bonnets.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">But Batavus nowadays only is known as a factory of</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
