Mountain Grill

[Hawkfan]

Thanks, I've been looking for an Anglo Saxon translation of Silver Machine
for ages.

Irritatingly (for the purposes of my rather feeble humour) although I found
an Old English translation of "machine", none of the Old English
dictionaries I found had a translation of "silver". There must surely be
one; I thought the Anglo Saxons excelled in gold and silver metalwork.
