    Yes, you have it. Palle Malle in olden days. The Mall was used as one, 800 metres long.

    Anything to do with accounting in the US?
    Boot is a term for an amount of cash or other goods added to an exchange to make the goods equal in value - and isn't taxable.

    A bit like when we sold Cliff Holton to Charlton for £4000 and they gave us Stewart Scullion as well - he was the boot. ;)

    Texas? The song 'These boots are made for walking' was inspired by a line from the film 4 for Texas - am not sure about the tax angle though.

    In Texas, hiking boots attract sales tax but cowboy boots don't?

    Cheers Yorkie.
    A topical question for today...

    Which football club has had a real cat as a mascot for the last eleven years?
