No, these were not supposed to be francophrocks.  The paddle was made in
<British> Columbia!  Gotta be anglophrocks!  They rattle around in the paddle
shaft much more actively and predictably than those francophrocks.  Spent a
good deal of time in 'Ull while visiting Ottawa regularly in a former life.
Would never want to pick up <anything> there, especially pebbles.
