Subject: RE: Wrap Me Up In My Tarpaulin Jacket

Thanks Kampervan, I was sure of my ground on that because my dad was a PO in frigates, and frequently referred to 'The Buffer' when reminiscing about his navy days.

However, having read the lyrics of the song in question, I have to agree that the buffer in the song is probably a soldier. Ah we'll, can't win em all! :-)
