I just have to ask it, and show my abysmal ignorance. What is Shinola? -Spaw(thanks for the tale) I must be excused , I spent my formative years working down the Pudsey treacle mines.Books were called "bukes"and used for the short leg of the kitchen table. We only rarely got to see The Yorkshire Evening Post,- through the grease and batter stains of the fish & chips. Aye,Mouldy, we were poor but we were happy. We were happy BECAUSE we were poor. Sat Night we went to a "local" (50kms)from here folk concert- chap called Dave Rovics- from Boston now relocated to Hamburg. Ecological/Political singer songwriter. Very good and entertaining too- see him if you get the chance anyone. Bye for now- Jack The Lad(Mev)
