Dammit! Wish I was nearer you. I’d happily take it. I don’t even know anyone who lives nearby though I’m afraid. GLWTS. Simon

I had one of Chris’ bushcraft knives a while ago which I wish I’d never sold. It was scarily sharp & held the edge really well. GLWTS.

Love mine. Thanks a lot. Simon

I’ve been wearing mine pretty hard for the last 18 months or so. Very comfortable indeed & very happy. I’d have yours as a reserve if I had funds Tony. GLWTS

All gone now. Various locals are making use of them & I have the promise of a few bits as a result. Thanks for the suggestions. Simon

I used to roll mine up in a single size mattress bag and tape it closed. They are very heavy duty plastic & pretty tough , especially when you’ve got a couple of layers wrapped round. Free and easily replaceable too.

I’m a cheese & onion pie addict myself. It’s my usual choice over meat. Pretty sure the Pukka one would be horrid, their meat pies are.

It would be perfect in my bar ( The Blind Bus Driver ) but I can’t justify buying it in the current climate. It’s a wonderful thing all right.

I also like my DeWalt Combi. Had it for around 10 years & no issues at all when using quality drill bits & drivers. It wasn’t cheap initially but it’s earned it’s keep for sure.

I think Pukka ( the brand) need to take a look at the meaning of the word they chose to describe their business! Hilarious.

Not vegan, but traditional way to add bags of flavour to pizza is anchovies. Depends if you eat fish or no flesh at all I guess. One vegan flavour bomb is shiitake mushrooms poached in soy. They have a pretty meaty texture anyway & the soy adds umami.

I'm not worried; more amused really.

Maybe ask the mods for some help with your photos of the knives? I may be interested but I don't use WhatsApp . Simon

I find it quite bizarre that vegans would want an option to eat black pudding, given the inevitable comparison with the almost entirely animal ingredients of the real thing. It's also patently ridiculous to describe the vegan version as "black pudding" , given that it has so little in common...

Thanks for the endorsement Andy. Very happy to vouch for you too anytime. Cheers, Simon

Westmorland Agricultural Society might be a good place to start. There is also a dedicated local historian called Roger Bingham who might be useful to point you in the right direction. Good luck. S

Happy Birthday! 50, like all the others, is just a number and not a restriction on your life. A friend gave me a great T-shirt when I turned 40. It said “If you haven’t grown up by the age of 40 you don’t have to!” I’m now 58 & still refusing. S
