Having previously been disenchanted with an OH job in 1075, I would tend toward the 7.7, in 1095 and chop it about to your own preference.....at only half the price, it's a no-brainer. But do flip-off the handle slabs, reshape 'em and then Araldite them back onto the handle, before...

Does anyone still use the hand made hazel clothes pegs, the ones with a blood-seeking strip taken from the side of a bean tin. Doesn't seem all that long ago that these were touted door to door . 'suppose they went the same way as the tinker/grinder, with his bicycle-driven Tomek wheel. regards...

Clouds are sweaty-threatening, no rain yet.

Nothing yet in Lincs, still very warm with a.m.mist. Light rain forecast this evening. Will have to give the chicken-bones a good rattling, cos my grass is all bright yellow. rgds Ceeg

Swish, that's my word for it. Ceeg
