Phil you are showing your lack of understanding of the written word and the english language ingeneral. Not at any time did iindicate that i did not know what a gandy dancer was; as in fact by shere chance i do. Back a long long time ago, a song came on the hit parade called the Gandy Dancers Ball. My brother Bob contatcted the American Consul in Sydney who sent us out some written inforamtion on what is was. If i remember crrectly after 50 years, it was to do with a Gandy Dancer which was a labourer on the old western railways in particular ones that lifted the rail into place. The load was so heavy that the many men involved had to develope a particular gaite to get the job done. This gaite was said to be like that of a gander which i understand is a male goose. Hence the term gandy dancer. They say only the good die young and my brother bob died of cancer back in 1965 he was only 35 years of age; so it was quite a while before that, that he gave me this information.Rgds Ian
