Thank you. Got it now. I've heard builders refer to the roof as in getting the lid on, but never hat. I certainly would never have worked this one out, even though I guessed the answer.

another thought,
maybe from,chimney tile,stove pipe hat?
never really questioned tile=hat before.

Don't ask me why but this discussion of hat = tile and finding myself lost reminds me of the French. Toit meant roof and trottoir meant pavement - I could never get these two words the right way round and used to end up in a right mess. Isn't language wonderful?

for sure - ca ne fait aucun doute.
