I like that analysis. It may also be why a lot of Scots would rather be in the Eurozone.Just for you howard150.
I was once told that it was a Yorkshire man that taught a Scotsman how to be tightfisted and hold onto his moneyI like that analysis. It may also be why a lot of Scots would rather be in the Eurozone.
Maybe filing the corners off his new pound coinsI reckon @Howard150 is in the middle of one of his extra long replies

Just so as you all know that I can take as well as give...... the reason for the tardy replies was ........a flat battery in casualty.....whilst all were pouring scorn, there was I sat in that wonderland of not knowing.

As if Duputerans was not enough, I had a run in with the fan on my beautifuly. restored FE35. Looking at that picture, then only for Duputerans the end of the little finger would be gone. Still anyway - Euphoric after that nice young man from Anglo Tractor Parts had pried 107 o' them new thruppny bits out of my other hand for a new radiator - inclusive of VAT and - yes and - carriage, I had a bit of a ticking when I stared her up. Not present if you just turned the fan by hand but just enough to assault the senses when she was running. Aha thinks me - if I were just to shorten that stay at........ and the rest is history.
Now - if that had been that nice young man from Tong Norton, the one you should all take a leaf out of my book about and let him alone - he would likely have had a compatriot with him who could have thrown something soft an comforting on the wound trampish like - trampish being a colloquialism for very very quickly in this part of the world I hasten to add. Not I - all I had was my new red hankey (sure it was white when I left home)
So anyway. Got home, had half my tea, a quick coffee with a shot of honey in it and then off to one o' them 'local' walkinwounded centres close to us which is about 8 mile further than Jimmys, the biggest casualty centre in England. Admonished by the receptionist 'not angin off is it' I took a seat in the waiting room only to discover my excommunicated state due to lack of lectric. After waiting what seemed like aeons for a whole 7 English minutes I was duly called in by that nice young practitioner who again admonished me for going in with dirty hands and this is the bit that hurts (pride that is) I was told that seeing as there were 3 deep gashes an inch and a quarter long (31.75mmin real money) all parallel and about 3/16 uniformly apart (4.76mm in real money) that stitches were not an option. Cheated - that's what I felt. Good old fashioned stitches that you know will not let you down. Belt and braces - that's what I wanted! So anyway.......20 minutes later and a couple of packs of steri strip woven in such a way as to make any self respecting Luddite proud, it was back home for tea and a barrage of abuse on here about new thruppny bits - nowt like kicking a guy when he's down.
Got all the usual as well from wife and mates. 'Silly owd bugger' 'Dy'know - can't let you out of my sight for a minute' 'bunch of fours' 'finger in't wrong pie there mate - try summat a bit softer next time.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it, so yes Ben you were half right about a long reply, doubtless both you and Dealer will have comments to further enhance this post in such a way as only both you can!
bugger bet that hurt, hope you go on all right with it,
pity fingers were not like radiators, just buy a new one,
was the fan ok ?

If one of you would care to decide where the thread went awry (post number) I will move all the posts following that into a separate 'Banter' Thread in the morning.
