Same here for ‘interesting’ tasks and large corporations. No hiding places….. which still beggars belief that this happened. There is an addendum to a court document which goes into detail about the s/w problems - dry but fascinating. Followed it from CW and Private Eye over the years and...

This may seem a sacrilege to spanner twirlers but we do use the other ends usefully - welded a few 17AF open ends to 19AF ratchets but loath to throw these (and more) in the scrap. Would anyone like some or all of them?

Ha, we make dozens of those for a shop in Avebury. Our local water engineers keep a pair in their vans - swear by them! That’s not the way to hold them, so I am told.

6’5” in old money. Small country cemetery may still have a 24 hour guard.

Scared the s*it out of granddaughters when we met them at Solstice Park for a travel stop on that wonderful A303

My sort of art…

Sitting outside a cafe in Salisbury a seagull shat a direct hit in my brother-in-law’s coffee. We were all splatted with a white and brown mixture. “Very common” the waitress told us as she handed out the blue roll. No warnings!
