Re: QUIZ of the MONTH (October)

Thank you for catching the type on Jack Rackham, Tiverton. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] No matter how many times I proofread those things something always slips thru the cracks.

Now as far as one of my Kgn dates being one too much... without giving out the answer yet, the date you have in mind is not a year late.

That's the only meaning of the word I know. If you reverse it 'bellywash' the meaning changes. But in the correct order I don't know of other meanings.

Anybody else?
