hi thomas, hi graham,
co-incidently, and as an aside to the main thrust of this thread, i have
recently used the word 'Peripatetic' to try and describe the composition
of workers on a particular project
i first came across this term in civil engineering - it is used
sometimes to describe the itinerant work-nature of construction staff
my dictionary tells me that 'Peripatetic' has 2 definitions:
i) going from place to place on one's business, and
ii) aristotelian [ from aristotle's custom of walking while teaching ]
