Re: Velcro or "hook and loop"

[John Cornellier <cornellier1 -at- stavanger -dot- oilfield -dot- slb -dot- com>]

Here in Norway it's "Borrelaas", which means "burr fastener".

In France it's onomatopoetically called "scratch", at least by children and most adults.

Can you not find out what it is? Maybe you're describing actual Velcro and then you could just call it that. If it's not Velcro find out what its manufacturer calls it.
