               As  well  as  being  used  to  handcuff  prisoners,  the


               Tom  Fool  was  once  ‘the  sailor’s  favourite  parlour
               trick’,  according  to  knot  guru  Clifford  Ashley.


               Practise it a few times and you too will be arrested

                  1  Hold a length of line in the crook of your thumbs, hands facing each


                                          other, thumbs pointing upwards.
