Cheers Crundle 
I missed out "a" for "a thousand", thanks for the catch. I don't want to close interpretations for anyone just yet, but the tar I was thinking of was a road.
I really appreciate your reading, it's fascinating.
*on second thoughts, "the thousand" works better than "a thousand".
P.S. I did post it the other day but pulled it down because it wasn't quite ready. I hope you haven't read it anywhere else because I only wrote it on Thursday
