Maybe it could be possible, in those times here were not any information. At first, they buy one belt (British one, i think), as spicy. But when the girls (us 😀 )arrive, they though that maybe a belting life would be good for us.
My parents manage well English, but the few times we talk with my mom about this, she tell me that when she buy her belt, my parents, did not have PC with Internet.
Late started some pages, but there were not much information, instead maker provide some comments and this things but very limited information.
