smudge,
I think most of us used the various terms at one time or another in respect of the same kit. I think dragartist may have had something to do with this and hopefully he will be along soon to put the record straight.
Picking up DM's thread about rum I recall being in a sandy place waiting to go into dinner with the captain. We had a rum punch and as we drank we looked at each other quizzically. Then we watched the barman mix the drinks. The mix contained ninety percent rum and ten percent other ! We postponed further imbibing until after dinner.
This sandy place was Barbados, not your sort of sand smudge but someone has to do these tasks, but it was only for eleven days ! Story next time.
