Hippo back
#6

Not sure, Arran. The back seems pretty sturdy to me, but the real test will be, as you said, if the clips hold it in place.

And jontz... that is pretty funny, and reminds me of a joke I heard not too long ago (apologies in advance)...

I was at the bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking at the bar.

Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked, "Hello, are you three lassies from Scotland?"

One of them angrily screeched, "It's Wales, Wales you bloody idiot!"

So I apologized and replied, "I am so sorry. Are you three whales from Scotland?"

And that's the last thing I remember Icon_e_biggrin
