I have a few Perry whistles to give away to needful homes.
All I will need is for you to send an SAE so I am not out of pocket on postage!
PM me - First come first served

Blimy - I can't even give these away!
I have only had three enquiries and have not yet been sent one SAE!
Is there anybody out there?

Hi John

I'd be very grateful for one please? :)

If you PM me your addy, I will send you an SAE on Monday, and see if I can find a little something to stick in in return.

cheers

Hi Folks
I am afraid that if I have not sent you my adress already you are going to be out of luck as I have promissed the remaining whistles to Westnorfolk. If you PMed me and I replied with my address, your whistles are waiting for their SAEs - be quick or I will assume that you are no longer interested and I will re-offer them in the near future!
I am afraid that the ones being offered are not the hand-crafted ones like that I gave to Tristan (who I see regularly) but the kind you find on life-jackets etc and are in orange plastic and are (mainly)CE stamped.
Thanks for the nice words though Tristan!
Oh yeah Tristan - I forgot to tell you on Sturday night, but I have found some leather for your pouch and I have the pattern and thonging ready as well. The leather is lightish in weight, black and waxed to stiffen it and waterproof it a bit. See you Wednesday if you are coming to rehearsal!

Thanks John, got it this morning
Along with the pouch ..... which was a nice suprise
The wife liked that and asked if you'd made it?

Anyway, you have rep and I'll have a hunt around to carry the process on
 
Merry Christmas!
I am glad you like the pouch - a little extra in the Xmas spirit!
I have just finished a run at our local theatre as Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" and felt I had to prove I am not a total grump - prove it to myself if no one else!
Yes I did make it myself, from a charity shop jacket - the source of much good leather.
I enjoy playing with the old sewing machine, to the extent that I took a BTEC deploma in Fashion Design as a "mature" student (who said "growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional" they must know me !) turning everything to outdoor persuits and still getting a distinction with my final, Ventile, collection. I did some freelance design work for Craghoppers and Snowdon Clothing for a while but then got into gear reviews for magazines instead. My sewing skills are a little rusty these days but I still like making things....especially when they are apreciated.
Merry Xmas and "God Bless us One and All!"
