Cheers Dave , how did you know I was fluent in Czech?

Well, as a Sun reader I thought you would enjoy just looking at the pictures

I copied the url,pasted it into a Bing search box,right clicked on the search result then opted for 'translate with Bing'

it translated the web page in a few seconds

What ! you mean you had to translate it , come on DANTHEMANSKI your slipping

I use it for all your posts Ed

Jings Crivens helpma boab whit ur ye yappin aboot man

I tried to translate this with Google but all it came up with was-

"Would you like a deep fried mars bar with your haggis my good man"

It makes no sense to me

whenever my wife and I hear a Scottish person on telly,one of us will say 'what did they say? Something about a haggis?/sporran?'

Just checked Marcus' book for you Ed and you're right - it's a parallelogram form, pattern no: 5122 designed by Jiri Brabec for Rosice in 1969.

Thanks Pip , I couldn't remember parallelogram, sounds much better than slanty square

Out of curiosity, are these quite rare?

I don't know however you don't come across them that often - not compared to, for example, the lens and candlewax vases...

Thanks pip, it's just that mine is getting good bids at the moment and I thought I might be missing something about them , but maybe it's just a happy flook.
