At the HMS Victory museum in Portsmouth UK, you can buy a thick leather cup lined with pitch. This is a replica of the sailor's mug used on board in Nelson's time, and it was used (among other things) for the rum ration when issued. This cup is called a "boot", and when things were good and you got an extra rum ration, sailors were told "Fill Yer Boots"!

I've heard expressions from visiting the US a number of times that Europeans wouldn't get, and been to Europe enough to know the reverse is true. I'm stuck in the middle here as I "get" it all; damn Canadians :lol:

Again Graeme, stunning photo; hoping Mike can print one off for me too... ;)

Canucks are just that way. Stuck in the middle, but they are the nicest people you could ever meet.

Thanks Gordon. I was quite pleased with the image but the credit should probably go to the excellent PI Gradient Removal Tool!
