I didn't get the P word in the last one because I've absolutely no idea what a plimsol line is. The only Plimsoles I know were the new wave band from the 80s lol.

It is known as the plimsol line named after the the person who thought of it ( Samuel Plimsol ) . My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The canvas shoes with the thicker soles (I wore these for tennis) were known as "pumps" lol. Useless piece of information I am sure. Sorry Ruth & Vince not bricks or bike.

Going back to I-spy, did think of this answer yesterday but could not remember the spelling so went for bike instead. Got bikes on the brain at the moment, just bought one!!! Have not ridden one for about 30 years or so, guess what it is true --- you don't forget how to ride one. And for tonights guess--- B A L U S T R A D E My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
