HuwG, that's right, I didn't think it was about mythology, sorry I wasn't clear about it. I love mineralogy and so enjoy hearing about it, too!

Most interesting, all of you! I realised last night, as I picked up my latest Anne Perry novel, that I had not heard rozzer on BBC America; I'd read it, in use, in her books of Victorian England. I wondered as my Rog said he didn't recall hearing it on tv. My mistake, but i guess it does show good research on her part.

I love it when you all start digging through your resources and post the information! It is such a wonderful education and all right here at the Mudcat!

Thanks!
