    Quite an easy one Alex, as he not only hung around there but based a lot of his stories on the characters found there and named his stories with Spadgers Lane in them.

    I believe that it was Turpentine, because it doesn't rot.

    I think they used a heap of it in building the Panama canal too.

    Bugger. Now I have to think up a question

    O.K. An easy one. Name the title of Steele Rudd's best known work.

    Bonus point if you name the main characters.
