	AH, the power of the people who refuse to state the obvious. To be honest I didn't think "Tithe Barns" were unusual. And for our American cousins the obvious word after tithe should be dime. Well that's my warped thinking anyway.

	Maybe Chris can tell you he always spouting la langue française I say old chap, I never spout. I may proclaim. prevaricate, opine, comment, observe, or even merely state, but I never spout. I am more accustomed to be likened to a pot rather than a kettle! At least according to some ....

	John is correct. Farmers gave one tenth or a tithe of their produce, as a contribution to the church, and a tithe barn was where this produce was stored under cover. "Buddy can you spare a dime" has a connotation as a charitable gift, although that is voluntary, the tithes were compulsory.

	To "nick" something is UK slang for to pinch or steal.

	To "nick" something is UK slang for to pinch or steal. I thought that was obvious - even from this side of the pond. ____________ BOINC WIKI
