      From: NemoNews@hotmail.co.uk              I have frequently come across both Bootmakers and Shoemakers (and maybe       sometimes the different words describing the same person) but to-day, in       the 1881 Census, I found a man who described himself as a Shoemaker and       his wife as a Boot Binder. It made me wonder whether shoes do not also       have to be bound - whatever the process may be.              --       Jenny M Benson       Wrexham, UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
