I wonder what the second world is

No comment.

An interesting aside:

Strictly (and arguably out-date-dly) speaking, Sweden is a Third World country. The original definitions of First, Second and Third Worlds related to whether counties aligned with NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Britain, France, USA, Japan etc were First World as they aligned with NATO. The Warsaw Pact countries such as the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam etc were Second World. The countries that remained neutral (including Sweden, Finland and sizeable chunks of the southern hemisphere) were Third World.

As such a high proportion of the Third World countries were less economically developed, the term later became used to refer to developing countries.

You all obviously needed to know that...

As necessary as a boil on the backside.

And according to our glorious EU friends, are we not classed as third world?

No, we are still looking for a suitable new classification system for you ...

It used to be non oil producing places on this rock.
Third world was the afican area.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I am 30 minutes out of a skip.

2 items was already in the skip other 2 I was allowed to place them in my skip(van)

This will bring fond (really?) memories back for some.

The rest of the sets are lost.
But both are Avery weights.

Victorian Chart compass.

Oh yes, just a wooden box as well.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The wooden box, above, rattled.

I had to take a hammer too the clips.

I think I have heard this name before.

Nope, nothing to do with oil: see my post above or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World

... a few little niceties ...:

A few used but sharp disc cutters in different thicknesses.

Of the more frequently used taps, I always like to have some in undoubted quality.

And a small box:

Mmmmmhhh ...

A foil thickness gauge, resolution 1µm, measuring range nominally 1mm but actually far beyond.

always stay hydrated and cool all

Picked up another Viceroy buffer to match the buffer/grinder that I bought a couple of years ago. It’s got a motor in it but the switch needs attention, not a bad buy for £35.

exactly, for making setscrews, screwheads etc. (didn't find a way to punch a clean hex in them for the time being)

Thanks for the correct word, I just translated 1:1 from German to English!
(Scheibenfräser -> disc cutters -> wrong )

You are of cause right, Pete but that's a bit far away for me in the future ....

I hope they didn't get you on CCTV, because you stole it for that price
Paid substantially more than that for mine - the buffers seem to go for considerably more than the grinders for some reason. I think its all the knifemakers. Nice machines!
