Hi, Jolan, good to hear from you, and thanks for the explanation. Up here in porage land, a slitter is a person who is likely to have egg on his tie, or one who habitually spills things as he works.


Hope all is well in Welsh Wales, and that you are enjoying the sunshine. Absorb it while you can. This might be our summer.

Best wishes.
