I fitted cold plugs to my engine the other day, when I removed them later they were hot. Does this mean that they are faulty? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I find that polishing the chambers adds to this dilema. The facts being that the shiney reflective finnish acts like a Thermos vacume flask. The cylinder with the closed valves under compression stores the heat so efficiently that is it kept up to temperature for weeks. Once the engine is turned over the red hot gasses are released and by thermomollecullar transfusion heats the spark plugs to an almost molten state.

It might be rhyming slang for "tommy" or it could be the pom pons on British uniforms at the time. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

I always thought it was "pomme" because we used to eat lots of apples on the long sea voyage to stop the scurvy.

Another reason is that our skin used to burn out there and go the same colour as a pomegranite!

An aussie aquantance once said Pome means 'Parrishoner of mother england'. Lime was also taken to combat scurvy on long voyages hence the Royal Navy tradition of providing it free to the ships company and the American term of endearment (?) Limeys. and WTBHDYM Northerners? i represent that remark. Edited by littlejem59 on 20th May, 2009. It's not the age that makes me creak it's the mileage |

The Kiwi sat at the side of me says 'Prisoner Of Mother England'. He has spent a fair amount of time in Aus. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Yes all Aussies think thats what POM/pommie stands for but they're actually wrong. No one knows for sure but historians say it's most certainly not prisioner of mother England/ her majesty.
