A tun is a measure of liquid equal to four hogs heads. Ergo a tundish must be a very large dish, capable of holding four hogs heads of ale... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 It was an absolute delight to meet Dan, Vikki and the ineffable MrSmelly (who looks amazingly like his avatar, albeit somewhat less dark haired!) a few days ago. Definately the smartest, cleanest dry dock on the system. Good luck with the 'Knobstick' project Dan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
