There's me thinking you'd come up with a clever connection to yourself Smile

OK, is it the local stone being used in WWI headstones ?

Canal, was the canal used to move the goods for the war effort, i.e. the mined lead ?

If it's not the stone and not the lead, perhaps it's got something to do with the textile mills producing narrow red tape for whitehall, or some other type of cloth for the military.

You mentioned finishing tape earlier.

 I wondered about Derby being attacked by Led Zeppelins but that is not a small town.

Thanks John.

That's very sad news about your mum, it seemed to happen a lot more a few years back than it does now.

I'll have a think and be back with a quizzy later, I'm out and I don't want to go over my free Internet limit.

Here we go, this should be straight forward enough.

There are 7 of me, who/what am I, and what are my names ?
