We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "SIRPip" <gingerbloke(a)gmail.com> saying something like: >I'm turning even more pikey as I get older, aren't I? I do the same. The decent kit stays in the workshop for proper use where it counts and everywhere else I'm likely to need fettling tools is populated with adequate cheaper gear. So far I've found the Lidl and Aldi spanners to be more than up to the jobs they've been put to, and no great loss if they get nicked/misplaced. |
