Then bWait, waitb&b spits out something interesting.

bRust on a nail from a Roman sandal found in newly discovered 
ruins in North Yorkshire appears to contain fibres which could 
suggest that a sock-type garment was being worn.b

This ties, or rather straps, together the Pacific Northwest, 
Romans, and North Yorkshire in quite the odd fashion.

Is that last a double paronomasia?

Maybe unicode will work better...

Jay,
I'm not atall surprised that Romans wore socks with their sandals.
This country is often wet and cold.

Roman Wall Blues 
 Over the heather the wet wind blows,
 I've lice in my tunic and a cold in my nose.

 The rain comes pattering out of the sky,
 I'm a Wall soldier, I don't know why.

 The mist creeps over the hard grey stone,
 My girl's in Tungria; I sleep alone.

 Aulus goes hanging around her place,
 I don't like his manners, I don't like his face.

 Piso's a Christian, he worships a fish;
 There'd be no kissing if he had his wish.

 She gave me a ring but I diced it away;
 I want my girl and I want my pay.

 When I'm a veteran with only one eye
 I shall do nothing but look at the sky.
-- W H Auden

Heck, I'm wearing socks with my sandals now and I'm sat in my office...

Regards,

Chris
