Has anyone used 14470 unbranded?
There are three types of Duck tape. IME this is a good brand of
properly sticky tape but which one to choose?

Daughter uses 12334 (think that's SF own brand?) to hold various bits on
her sailing dinghy and they seem to stay put OK, as you can see (she's
on the far left ;-) :

Would you not be better off with carpet tape (double sided fibre
reinforced)? That's what I've used to stick things to the side of cars
before.

I use TLC Gaffa tape for most jobs - very sticky.
If you're using it to wrap around something like to insulate wires then
self-amalgamating tape is the best. (but it's absolutely no use for
sticking flat on a surface).

Drooooool.......
Best I ever managed was a couple of MkII Escort grass-track cars, but I'll
never forget the visceral joy of racing.

On a related note, does anybody else get irritated by the Hollywood
habit of pronouncing the 'u' in buoy? Actully, the 'o' gets dropped and
it comes out like 'buey', like Buick without the end.

I get annoyed by their pronunciation of route as "rowt" instead of
"root"

Maybe it's to avoid offence to those that take the meaning of root to
have ladies and gentlemen relations under the consent of the king or
such malarkey ...
But the yanks do pronounce "Route 66" correctly ;-)

They do, don't they? Why the hell is that?
On a slightly separate note I read somewhere recently that the
language/accent spoken by the Pilgrim Fathers (ie native Brits) was much
closer to what the Americans speak nowadays than to modern-day British
English. I don't know whether that's true, or more to the point, who
smuggled a tape recorder aboard the Mayflower...
