I thought typical of the black gang. No wonder the andrew used to hide them below deck.

I resemble that. It's my lack of expertise in transferring the E-mail across. Nothing sinister, although it would pay to check for bobby traps. [ not a mistype] Sappers are like that. Army Engineer types can build a bridge and get over it, we troglodyte Engineering types are like gynaecologists, we will look into it. BTW, do you know where the saying " the Andrew " came from? I'll tell you anyway. Like any Army Engineer story it is long winded, but here we go. It originated with Lieut. General Andrew Clarke, an English Army Engineering Officer , with a connection to Australia. A fascinating story about a fascinating man.

Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Clarke, GCMG CB CIE was a British soldier, engineer, a Colonial Administrator and finally a Colonial Governor , recorded for posterity as such, and also as a surveyor and politician in Australia.

Born: July 27, 1824, Southsea, Portsmouth in the Reign of King George IV the penultimate Georgian monarch.
Died: March 29, 1902, Bath when aged 77.
Education: Royal Military Academy, Woolwich

The death of Lieutenant General [equivalent to a Vice Admiral] Sir Andrew Clarke occurred on Saturday 29^th
March 1902 at his home in London after a long and debilitating illness, which did not stop him from carrying out his duties of Agent-General for the Colony Victoria, Australia, to the last. He died as he wished to die, in harness, a strenuous worker to the very end, and few of his contemporaries could show such a record of public service as his, spread over a period of 60 years. As he was proud of recalling, he was the last survivor of the framers of the First Constitution of Victoria in 1865, and he lived to see the foundation of the Australian Commonwealth and to entertain the hope that he might be chosen as its first Imperial Commissioner in the Capital of the Empire.

The story.
