dwaynedibley, perhaps it might be an idea to explain to non woggle-wearers, that the lashings one learned about in the Boy Scouts were actually only methods of tying wooden poles together. Nothing to do with half-naked girl guides, baby oil and leather - well, not in my prep school troop, at any rate!
"What shoddy frapping" - great line from Penelope Keith as a pompous guide commissioner in 'To The Manor Born'!
OK - off topic. Sorry!
One wonders quite how, and with what, the earlier brown choppers like the Skeeter could have attacked anything more threatening than pygmies armed with sharpened guava halves!
