Flotsam and jetsam actually have different meanings and used to be used independantly of each other.
Flotsam or floatsome were items which were found floating as a consequence of the actions of the sea ie those which came from ships wrecked in storms. Jetsam refers to items which were thrown overboard by a ships crew. Lagan is the third term which is hardly ever used these days and it refers to goods and wreckage that sinks to the sea bed. |

I love these old nautical terms, I particularly like “Choc-a-bloc”, which refers to the point at which the two opposing pulleys in a block and tackle system meet and as such have no more room to move.

Fuel (95 RON Unleaded) is now 84.9p/litre. Just thought I'd share something that made me smile this morning.
 Funny that not long ago everyone was worried it was £1/litre.Long live healthy competition, and high street supermarkets for causing the reduction! |

Elvis was the only CIVILIAN, not trained by the FBI to legally carry a sidearm(gun) throughout the United States. Usually gun wearers had to be authorised for each state, or be a fully paid up member of the FBI
