Exactly right David..... It was amazing how long the soles could last even though almost all the edge of the sole was plugs!

A bit harsh perhaps I'd say - it's been described as such a few times.

I'll try "carronade" :laugh5:

If it walks like duck and quacks like duck it probably is a duck.

Splitting hairs in my view.

It looks like a cannon and probably sounds like one if put into use so in my book it is a cannon.

You may well think so and I will give it to you Ian but the fact remains that it is not a cannon but a Carronade.
Now we need another object.
