Hi quizbuff - the following is an extract from OED (Online) (Historical Quotations)

"...Hist...Edinburgh...Every large Lime-boat and Crear without a Topmast... Hist...Six creers sailed regularly from this port to the Orkney Isles..."

These are the two spellings that fit your letters, but there are many others!

HTH & good luck! :-)

Hi Lie in. Today was as bad as I was expecting. Hope your day went well. Grass.

[Lie-in King]

Hi grass - I'm sorry you had a rough time! My day's been ok - it was fairly peaceful on here for a Sunday!

[grasscarp]

Maybe I wasnt in the mood but I left her without having supper with her. Long story. Couldnt wait to get back to Answerbank and Ebay! Glad your day was smooth.

[Lie-in King]

I just got a Yellow-10 point-star-thingy-certificate from eBay for being a wonderful person - sorry, buyer!

Haven't decided yet if I'm sad enough to put it on the wall...

[Lie-in King]

quizbuff - apologies for hijacking your thread! :-)

[grasscarp]

Yeh. I apologise too Quizbuff. Lie in dont your dare put it on your wall. This is equivalent to mcDonalds stars on your shirt.....

[Lie-in King]

Oh, rats! I bow to your superior knowledge...

You sure I couldn't get away with saying it's a pre-post-modern ironic statement on the futility of existence?

No? I'll just have to get the poker-playing dogs out again...

[grasscarp]

I aint superior to you. I have long been in awe of your detailed quick and inevitably correct responses. We had better stop now as this is Quizbuffs post and he may get annoyed!!!!
