Thanks Chris, very interesting.
I think my wife might have an intuitive knowledge in this area - whenever we
go away she always has about 8 pairs of shoes in her and my cases.

Subject: [TN] Tin Pest

Hi
For those who have sat through tin pest presentations, where evidence of
this has been cited, may recall stories of Napoleon's invasion of
Russia, and the failure of tin soldered buttons.

A recent interesting post on the BBC presents a credible account of why
that invasion failed.
