It paid for itself on the first job . Admittedly I didn’t pay much for it and, that’s also discounting the 4 days to sort out some of its ailments, make holders etc

You know it is one of the things I find annoying. British youtubers using the hard G instead of the British version. I don't mind the Americans saying that as they have their own version of English

I know how to pronounce it. I was taught that they were spelt with a double b. Possibly a language thing as I was taught by a German engineer who’s first language wasn’t English. Besides, I was always told to never trust anybody that can only spell a word in one way

The surpise when they learn we don't drive on the right.

Also in the USA, when the 'Ring' in your 'Rear End' is causing problems, it's more likely to be a Crownwheel issue with the rear axle rather than the after effects from last night's Vindaloo from the Indian takeaway.

They are slowly changing to metric though, inch by inch

Made a start on cleaning up this 3 in one bender/roller/crop I bought a while back, did a dummy run to check it was all there and it is

Today I made a bull ring latch to hold the gate open. I like it.

That looks an interesting gate latch...I've never seen one like that before.

Some of them are surprised we speak English!!

I like it because it is so simple and fascinating the way it works.
