<p>[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 391895, member: 103"]Methinks that said 'trug' has had several lives. If the leather is the original, mayhap said butler used it for carrying ice. When the refrigerator took over ice making, her ladyship repurposed the trug with the blue material, (or before that, pink, or whatever). A trug is usually associated with flowers, or garden produce, but this one's leather is not conducive to fresh cut roses or courgettes. Therefore, 'trug,' in this case merely (loosely) refers to the general shape of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Signed) Truglodyte[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
