Well tar very much for that Guy, you do indeed elucidate a veritable mine of information when it comes to non computer related subjects <grin> and quite correct it is a bit Oirish, what one may refer to as a Hodgesism and perhaps lager should have also been replaced by Guinness?
BTW there were no "dirty tricks" in my day, they started with Nixon, were refined later on by Thatcher and have now been perfected by Blair ;-) Rupert >>>>>>>>>> original message or part thereof <<<<<<<<<< Oh Rupert, that's terrible. Sounds a bit Oirish to me! If I may be permitted in this festive season to elucidate your bear faced misconception: "Tar" Macadam was in fact a nickname given to John Loudon Macadam, solely as a result of his association with Lord Dundonald's Tar Works in Muirkirk. The tar however was NOT used as a top surface in road construction but it has over the years been accepted as the name given to the tarred top surface on a highway. What the term "Macadamizing" refers to is using "graded" stones for the base, in progressively finer layers. The result is a resilient, smooth top surface with the added benefit that surface water is able to drain through. This was indeed a tremendous improvement over the "dirt tracks" which were the norm in your day :) GR ------------------------ Yahoo!
