[JonnyBoy12]

Yes, we called it the crust here in Shropshire too. Welcome to AB, by the way, frizzandjeff, as I can see you are new here. If there is anything you need to know then just ask us, as that is what we are here for. By the way look out for the Spelling Police, as they will pounce on any example of bad spelling, so make sure words are spelt right.

Oh JB, did you do that on purpose (°¿°)

If you would have spelled spelled right you would have spelled it spelled. lol

[mike11111]

Spelt is an accepted alternative to spell (see Chambers).

Regards, Mike. (Sergeant, Grammar division).

I've heard it's being called the HEEL and also the OUTSIDES but never nobbler. That's a new one on me.

[wildwood]

I was have a friendly dig at JB, Mike. Spelling police and all that.......
