The message
from "Mike Lyle" contains these words: Jaques d'Alltrades wrote: The message from "Brian" --- 'flayb' to respond contains these words: /mattocks!/ Mine is of similar age but was originally an adze. Much better steel and takes a fine edge. Yours could be the same? Philistine! Oh dear! You mean he shouldn't be using his Disston saw to cut off tree-roots below ground-level? Well, he can use his modern one - but if he has a thirty-year-old one, no, he shouldn't. In those circumstances he might use an ankle-grinder. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Perhaps even my aged S&J best ones are now classics? (Last time I employed builders, they arrived with an armful of throwaways as well as a pair of Ds. I was shocked, I tell you, shocked.) -- Mike. |
