alpha2 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Posted March 27, 2018 I've never spliced anything "apart". Probably won't sleep tonight. Thanks, FredK!!! Quote So much leather...so little time.

Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted March 28, 2018 Members Report Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Paring could work. To join together, at least into pairs, or separate (edges, or apple from its skin). Paired possibly, but would have to check spelling for the latter action (is an apple pared or paired, must google). just a passing thought..... Edited March 28, 2018 by LumpenDoodle2 Quote “Equality?

This includes the hot "fries" version and also the eaten-cold-packet version of "crisps". Then again, because we have so much influence from UK and US television and ex-pats, any of these are fine to use in 'almost' any establishment Downunder.
