Not to be pedantic about this, but I'm from Montrose, and an Arbroath
smokie is *not* a kipper. Kippers are herrings, an Arbroath smokie is
a haddock. To rotate back to a musical theme, essentially the same as
Peggy Lee called a 'fine Finnan Haddie', which hails originally from
Findon, further up the coast.


No, this is a kipper:

(That one is in nice St. Chav colours! :-)

Luvverly, and just in time for England to go out in the first round
again...... :-)

Was that a haddock? Bugger me - I've spent the last twenty years in a
state of confusion over me fish (and me a Faroe man and all!). Oh well
- so where do they make kippers, then?

Anywhere, it's a generic term. Got one back on the Eurobuggers with
Arbroath Smokies though - they have to be produced within ten miles of
Arbroath town centre, or you can't call them Arbroath Smokies.

Taiwan, probably.....

You wouldn't be surprised, as smoking preserves the fish, so they
could be from anywhere.

(How TF does he manage to turn a thread about 'digital volume controls'
into
a discussion about *fish*?? It must be Alzheimers....!! :-)

I thought it was supposed to be good for the brain.

Nah, he likes valves and horns!

Now, now. We must make room for all here.

Certainly - s'not like it's overcrowded in here, izzit??

It will be if Keith keeps churning out those fekkin' great horns! It
also just occured to me that you can get a housefull of vinyl into one
digital music server, even uncompressed 16/44..............
