Yeah, it’s too bad that hemp has such a ‘mellow’ reputation.  I have seen clothing and other cloth articles made of hemp in different shops, so it’s being used.

Hi Simon–

I’ll add it to the list.  I always love reading about The Great Game.  If you haven’t read it already, you should get a copy of Flashman by George McDonald Fraser.  The entire series is great, but if you haven’t read any, start with Flashman, the very first.
