Subject: Terrain - Chenille?
OK, I have heard you Americans and Canadians (ie. Colonials!) discussing this chenille stuff on various terrain 'how-to' pages, including melting it to fuze treetrunks together. What is it? Is there an equivalent on this side of the pond? (and while we are asking questions is there anyone here who did not spy for the KGB?).

It's sold in crafts stores here, as either "Bump Chenille" or "Bumpy Chenille". I've got a small picture of some simple chenille conifers, with instructions; see <http://warbard.iwarp.com/scenery.html> > Is there an equivalent on I assume you mean in England?

Kamerade is what German prisoners used to say to NKVD guards when they wanted to bum a cigarette or toady up. No Russian would ever say Comrade

Of course, it's looking more and more like every Brit who ever lived has spied for the Soviets! Us poor semi-colonials are safe, although the rebel-ex-colonials to the south of us have had their problems...:> So, is HM's Govt really going to chuck that 87 year old KGB granny in jail?
