    We call the worn tails, when hill walking, desire lines or desire paths. They're the paths made by foot traffic of man or beast. The worn path in grass where people cut a corner rather than use the winding footpath is a desire path too.
    You're probably thinking of something else though.

    Well that is the sort of thing I meant, it shows a path away from official pathways where people (or other creatures desire to walk.

    Your turn, but beware the Christmas lapse in contributers just now.

    I think the honour still resides with Srameen but he may well be resting after his latest walk so may I throw in a filler-in suitable for very auldwans 'n' auldfellas:-

    If I were using a mashie, a niblick, or a jigger what would I be doing?

    Close enough. It's the city whose streets were used in the original version of the game. Your turn.

    Not around here. Keys is a term used for ash seeds in many areas but for some reason here they were ash mast and beech mast. Lord knows why.

    OK, ran this one by a friend today and he says it's much to hard as it stands.

    So, it's a literary connection.

    That's enough.

    Dinah you have. They other two are Old Possums Book of Practical Cats and Watership Down. But Cats they all are.

    Well done.

    Would it be rude of me to ask where you did your studies?

    I studied at Liverpool Poly (John Moore's University as it is now)

    Sorry folks back to the quiz :o

    London Bridge fell down (well, ok, it was pushed) in the 1960s. What happened to it?
