Posted: 06/12/2009 13:53:54 Reply | Quote I've entered the above as an iron mine but srictly speaking it's a brown ore mine. Should I call it the latter or a limonite mine or have I flipped into pedant mode? -- The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

If most people would think of it as a limonite mine call it that. If most people would think of it as a pot noodle mine, call it a pot noodle mine! |
