Well I'm right next to Medway but I suspect they have thrown away more than I have got during the deck renewal.

Too old to die young, anyway.
Fergus OMore:
Is this Teak out of India and Burma or so called teak -out of Africa?
Even at that, 'teak' which replaced oil and blood soaked decking on whale factory ships in the 50's on the Tyne was actually Borneo Red Seraya. I recall making kayaks and dinghies from it- as a substitute for Honduras and so called African mahogany.
So my memory is coming back.
