thanks for your lovely answers. i'm sure my dad's is pewter too. thanks redman for that great website. i can't wait to give my son his tankard - i'm so proud of how he's turned out. he's handsome (tall, dark and strapping like his dad), polite, considerate, hard working (has had a job since he was 14),loyal and loving (been with his girlfriend for 3 years - and she is a lovely young lady), and bright (he's taking his A-levels). i had a messed up childhood, had him when i was 17, struggled with drugs and alcohol for a long time, and both me and mr kicker had to put ourselves through uni scraping and scratching a living together with no support from anyone at all - it's always just been the three of us. he is the one thing in my life that i have done absolutely right and i have no idea how! i look at him and he is such a beautiful mix of me and mr kicker - he definately got the best bits from both of us...x
