Death in China (Chinese Torture as was) edit 2.

[tectak]

Shouldn't it be "...death will come to those who let her in"?

Bugger me, I read that line over and over and did not spot the missing who.Thanks for that. You have made an old man very happy.

Hessian big in China. Google. Sackcloth to me....jute to you. (Actually "burlap" to me.)

Really? I thought it meant "German". As in Hessian soldiers. Don't google, will search.

Oh, I see. You mean " hessian cloth walls".

I think I would either add cloth, or use burlap (or sackcloth) to avoid confusion. As it was originally exported from India, I doubt they call it hessian in China, and as it brings up unwanted connotation for anyone not from the UK (and there are some of us) I would not use just "hessian", or at least footnote it for Gawds sake!

cheers

Dale,
many thanks for you elucidations. I have added greatly to my knowledge base with your helpful comments. How on earth did I get to this age with this gap in my database?
I had never even considered that Hessian Soldiers were from Hesse. I would have argued plausibly the they were so called because they were attired in hessian!
Thanks again,
Best,
Tom
