Not slab John, I must admit this is a bit devious, the answer is in plain sight but the word may not be familiar to you Wink

Nope, no one has a disadvantage, I think the word derives from Greek, John has 4 of the letters, but not in the right order Smile

  I grew up next door but one to an undertakers and the local parish church, the coffin store was where I played as a kid and once I had got interested in photography I took shots of all the coffins in the chapel of rest for a catalogue. And when my mother remarried , she married the funeral director who was my godfather and then stepfather and she went on to be a director of the company herself. Used to watch the lettercutters working on the headstones back in the day and go out with the masons on the truck when the finished stones were put into position. 

           Must admit I did have to refresh my memory but we still do not know if that is what Ruth is looking for.
