Well done Ed! Once again a number of things that are just language diffrences caused by the Atlantic!
Brawn - someone suggested pickled or preserved. The brawn my maternal grandmother made was meat in a jelly (jello - and not fruit flavour!), I would never try it, I thought it looked horrible!
The reference to Swallow being towed by a motor cruiser (p173) I think is in Swallowdale - I haven't checked so anyone more thourough is welcome to correct me!
