Hello, Someone on an Australian List was trying to find out what a "boot clicker" did ! I did a quick search and came across this web site: http://www.scotroots.com/occupations.htm My first thought had been the tiny, metal plates which used to go on the soles of shoes ! And, then, when I found out a "boot clicker" is the one who created the holes in the upper boot where the shoelaces went, it reminded me of an old "trivia question" -- what do you call the little plastic things on the end of shoelaces ! (Someone on the AUS List wrote back to say they are "aglets.") Enjoy ! Betty (near Lowell, MA)
