Just for those that don't know, a fag in the UK is a cigarette.
No wonder I am getting some strange comments, and getting the mickey taken, and no, I don't have that sort of lean.

I once went for drinks with a crew I did business with. Among the group was a young guy fresh from the UK who was here doing some sort of equipment support for the company. A local "beach club" was the chosen watering hole. A beach club is something of an inland "Myrtle Beach" experience, sans the salt water and sand.
The local girls caught his accent, making him real popular... real fast. After his first dance, he returned blushing and confused. The longer we stayed, the more confused he looked, as each time a girl asked him to dance. You see..... the mainstay of a beach club is a dance called "The Shag". It's a bit like a jitterbug, but a bit slower and more relaxed.
Someone in the group finally disabused the poor chap of his fantasy that every girl in the place was trying to get in his knickers. For a while there he was convinced that the USA was indeed a land of unimaginable opportunity.
Two peoples separated by a common language...

I've got a web cam I bought back a while ago. Will have to see if I can find it and see if it will hook up to my more recent computer.
So will look into as time permits. Thanks for the info.

I usually lean on the lathe, the mill, in fact anything that's handy.
