HI TBOY,Very clever those rope world blokes. My granny it was Twice the half it length.Never had the pleasure of visiting the rope works must have been some operation.I used to teach the Cubs and Scouts how to make rope here in Manitoba, just using three strands of binder twine.You sure get around on BF. I've seen you on all sorts of threads.I found out that I can only attach 128kb file on the thread, the file for the Od Lodge road in 44 MbHave a good day.

Dreaded going to Aerial Street Clinic to have my teeth filled or taken out. Cant remember why they sent me to Cupar Street Clinic in the 60s for any work on teeth. Both places were dreadful.
does anyone remember the old lodge road it started at peters hill and finished at agnes street
