Yes, it puzzled me for a while, Mike. It's a very clever reference to
Alum Bay hence my response about pushing coloured
sand down into glass lighthouses.
Incidentally, I think I called it Alum Chine in my earlier post which is near Bournemouth. Alum Bay is the one on the IoW.

OK, I give in. I've spent ages trying to figure it out! Anyone know what the heck Keith is on about?

It is similar to the island in the Irish Sea known for its 3 legs.......'Ten M'......I.O.M.
Its from an old joke about an american pilot on his first trip in Europe, when asked his position he referred to his map & said......'Ten W'....

Ah, now it makes sense, Keith, thank you. It's obviously not just my eyes that time is dimming.
