Today I acquired...........

[Parm]

Yeah Parm, I nicked it from Wembley arena (Skol Six track racing, 1970's) when I was a kid at school. No idea how its survived!

If you were a kid in the 70’s what were you doing nicking a beer glass?

I’m not really one to talk, I have a borrowed permanently on loan beer Stein from establishments in both London and Germany

I used to have a lovely Draughtflow System pint glass. It shattered one day, very sad.

It’s become something of a tradition in our family to nab the teaspoon from any airline we fly on. There aren’t any duplicates but probably in excess of 100 spoons, maybe 200. Lots of them are from defunct airlines, some only lasted a few years but bothered to get their own branded cutlery stamped out.

I had a nice assortment of hotel towels at one point. Turns out they're not all that hard-wearing, probably because people nick them all the time.

Have a few airline facecloths too, keep them in the cupboard for if the dog has a wee on the carpet, they’re perfect for the job

You must fly posh airlines - I only get plastic spoons

This is what is in the bucket.
@slim_boy_fat All from the shop I told you about.





Two breast drill. Both have working chucks, but.
They do not fit the 2 pillar drills I am rebuilding.
Typical.





Small precession oil can.





A Volt meter, doesn't work. But looks nice.




A seized lump of metal trying to be a plane.





Another lump of rust. This looks like to be a multi Whitworth die holder.



Yes.




This paper work and the above items made me about turn, drive back and asked about the rest.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A. Tidy space for it.
B. Tell Mrs TYA.

[bigegg]

i used to have a coronet table saw/planer/rebater/tenoner/mortiser. (no lathe)

got rid of it because I had bigger, individual machines, and it was too small for the jobs i was doing at the time.

regretted it ever since.
