I love the little pickled ones in salads, couscous, nachos & sauces. Tartare sauce a particular favourite.

Ben’s knives are also excellent & very pretty to boot. Also look at Ash & Iron or, if you’re a very patient person, Nic Westermann.

Have a look at Wood Tools from Sheffield. Robin & his team are making some great tools at reasonable money. Very happy with the ones I own.

All yours. DM me & please confirm you’re over 18. Cheers, S

Pretty sure they wouldn’t want us now that we are cantankerous old gits with little respect for the establishment and a tendency to not suffer fools gladly.

I’d snap this up if I hadn’t already had my 20+ year old Arcteryx Alpha SV reproved & seamtaped. Arcteryx kit is bombproof & great quality. GLWTS.

Okay folks! Back in the room after a little relapse. On offer is this handy little pocket pouch with a couple of bits inside and a Dr Martens pin badge.

Apologies if you’ve been waiting for my offer. I will get it photographed & up in the morning. Flu knocked me out for a couple of days! S
