I ...Graham, would cost a lot more to produce today. I agree. If they stops a squirt of paraffin or a gentle tap and it they would be away again.<br />The world has turned upside down a horologist is regarded as worthless whilst a banker is regarded as a God or paid as one. <br />It will get worse as even Labour politicians are now politicians from the cradle. never seen real skill in any medium.

As is so often the case after two hours I'd managed all sorts of things except those things needing my attention. Attention span of a gnat, that's my problem.

Fortunately some clever soul has figured out an even better workaround.

It is a good place. <br /><br />Bob, cheeky you are. You are the best entitled to mock the sick. Great comment.<br /><br />Keith, when Bob gets his words in the right order he's a real gem of a bloke. How he keeps so cheerful is beyond me.<br />It is a smashing spot and almost within my comfort zone.
