Fondue if I know...

Must admit that I've never heard of "cheese" applied to coiling ropes. Very neat; wish I could keep the various cables in this house from sinuously entangling themselves. You get them all neat and tidy, go and make a cuppa, then when you get back, they've become another plate of spaghetti.

Perhaps you've had a visit from the Italian branch of The Borrowers ? :mrgreen:

that's the expression which I used to use when teaching Air Cadets about Induced Drag :)
