If we were lost at sea drifting in a battered junk

Cyrus would navigate us with his empty bottle of gin, one squint eye and a big bear in a brass telescope. Making us turn left at the second seagull he’d have us lost by the third. His stories though would also keep us entertained all through the night. Roby's Italian style sees us through the peril of a hurricane with a sure placed foot on the bow, scratchin’ his chin as we hit the eye of the storm. He would also be telling us to row faster. Dan would find a surreal and humourous side to being stuck, hopelessly in the middle of the ocean. James ‘Lord' Byron, standing astride the bamboo ship addresses the crew with sense and calm. Kath would have packed with her fiddle, sad melodies and lunch boxes for all.

All in all, it would be the best sounding boat that ever got stuck in an imaginary ocean.

Sellotape - A history

Sellotape is a European brand of transparent, cellulose-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and is the leading brand of clear sticky tape in the United Kingdom. Sellotape is generally used for joining, sealing, attaching and mending. It is also referred to as cellophane tape.

The name ‘Sellotape’ was coined in 1937 by Colin Kininmonth and George Gray, who made the product by applying rubber resin to cellophane film. The tape was originally manufactured in Acton, West London. From the 1960s to 1980s, the Sellotape company was part of Dickinson Robinson Group, a British packaging and paper conglomerate. In 2002, it was bought by Henkel Consumer Adhesives and continues to manufacture tape in it's factory in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

Note: Useful in sticking stuff together.
