I've got a lot of his books. From the days when men gardened in tweed jackets, shirt and tie and wellington boots whatever the time of year! Anybody remember BBC's 'Gardening Club'? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AY Mod Posted April 25, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2020 I had to go digging to find out it was six years ago when we had the best Saturday ever on the WSR thanks to @Captain Kernow and his wonderful organisational skills. Looking back I see I was years ahead on the Baby Shark craze. @Taz thinks I should stop being silly. 9 1 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see that you haven't (not) bought any of those diabolical things sold as 'pasties' at Bishops Lydeard 'refreshment' outlet. Not only dd they contain carrot but they also contained peas - a double hanging offence for the perpetrator who needed prosecution under the Trades Description Act. BTW what is that funny bit of wood in the box of chips - some sort of modelling raw material such as a sort of craftsman (crafty?) kit for 7mm scale sleepers? 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is used for sticking between the ribs of those chums who are a bit recalcitrant about buying their round. Once they do so it is removed. According to Sellars & Yeatman in "1066 And All That", this is the original derivation of the expression "fork out". 1 4 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious head on. A friend uses some sort of magnetic couplings on his 0 gauge layout - I can't remember the name. Thoes forky wooden thingies are ideal for pressing down on the magnets and so holding them apart when uncoupling stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
