As part of me helping with our friend's Canal Narrow Boat project I recently went looking for a site called "Canal World" on Google ..... A slight typo where the "C" was left out saw some rather odd results listed !!!.............Give it a go and see what I mean !!....LoL !!

So easily done! Just checking back on our bare Cyclist on page 1. Talking of BARE the lovely view of the new workshop back then. Struggling for space upon making more heavy units for drawers. When we first moved here 8 years ago. Next door but one the 2 guys did cars, Cars, CArs and CARS every evening. Many complained. I gave George a trolley jack as I did not need it at the time. I love the representing of the 3 spanners. Meanwhile our neighbourhood goes Down the Drain. Such obsession and dedication to your company. David, and Lily resting after swarf removal from behind the Super 7.

We all loose something and of course if you deliberately DON'T LOOK FOR IT it turns up. During the early part of the day Lily had an idea. And took great delight in announcing her reason for returning to the house in CHINESE. Knowing the Very BASIC and naughty words, laughed. The search continued. WHEN it was my turn later on. I FOUND IT. The very famous 10 MM SOCKET. David and Lily.

It's like the beast of bodmin Moor, a figment of your imagination

Think Bahco was responsible for inventing the 'Metric Adjustable'. I prefer the good ' ole British Imperial shifter myself. Guy

But did you read that Oxford Univeristy are dropping miles, feet, arcres and gallons etc. They represent the colonial oppression and are going metric as this is not a colonisation, freckon Roger has been at work here!!! D
Translation freckon means f****** reckon!

YES and the Introduction talk by the Holiday Rep* mentions 100 mm Diameter and that anything other than the Brown remains of last Nights BUFFET must not be FLUSHED DOWN THERE. Give me the 4" INCHES of orange pipe anyday.
*MEMORIES!!!

Think the metric system originated as part of the Code Napoleon who, incidentally was responsible for the reintroduced slavery to the French colonies. Guy
