    Have you got a 'tenfoot' or know what one is? I can't imagine not having one!

            Wow, that's where I went to school! For everyone else:

            http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tenfoot

            We also used to call it a 'tenny' and I guess that's where the term 'croggie' came from were one would give a lift to a friend on a bicycle.
