Everyone -

Sorry guys and gals to be completely off topic...!

What are 'slaters' - are they these little armour plated insects (?)
crustaceans (??) that you get under rotting logs and such like??



Well, this takes me back to Co Durham in the 1950's. Just the other side of
the river to you Les, where we called woodlice 'slatey bugs'.

All the best

We called them 'pillbugs' as they could roll up into armour plated
balls.....
