    Robert,

    That's a fun picture that many will get a kick out of. I have moved it and the related comments here as not to take Alan's thread too off topic.

    Cheers

    Just imagine how many flies you would have to catch in order to obtain enough material to make a garment.
    Lose something valuable to you and don't know who can help?

    It gives a whole different meaning to 'the drone of a fly in the room'.

    Robert, you have discovered the Scottish fly, which also forms the crest of the MacDiptera clan - their motto is "Time Doth Fly".
