How to calculate the density of brine... Density (lb/ft3)= a3 - (a2*Temperature (F)) ....why would you bother?

What the guy looking at the Hillman probably meant was he lived near the sea and it would dissolve in the sea air as hillmans were prone to doing[a bit like lancia]

Oops sorry, slapped wrists haha.
laiking about, playing about, messing around
Spoggs, sweeties sometimes called spice
Leek Geen, is a little more difficult. It is what some peeps would call 'a dirty old man' a bit like Steptoe, an old man who likes leering after girls.
