The "intimate rubber products" machine in the Turf Tavern in Oxford stated  made to British Standard under which was written "so was the Titanic" ! Possibly in Morse's handwritting!

Just to stir things up a bit more, is it Lion anyway? Have a look at Anthony Dawson's video on

Enjoy!

It used to be two bricks in the original 1970s version of the joke, still funny though. I think that in a Terry Pratchett book there is a comment about the noise a camel makes when it sees someone approaching with 2 bricks!

Ahmed the Arab bought a camel, but he quickly realised that it  was an evil so-and-so. It bit, kicked and generally tried to make life as hard as possible for him.

 

So he took it back to the camel dealer and said he wanted his money back. 

 

The dealer refused.

 

"So, what do I do?" Ahmed asked.

 

"Get it castrated," came the reply. "That'll sort it out. Try Fazil the butcher in the Market. He does a sideline in castrating camels." 

 

So Ahmed went to see Fazil, but was told that it would cost 100 dinars to have the beast sorted out. 

 

"No way," replied Ahmed. "I didn't spend that much on the camel. Do you know anyone who could do it cheaper?"

 

"Go and see my brother Jafar," he was told. "He'll do it for ten."

 

So Ahmed went to see Jafar, and was told that, yes, it would only cost ten dinars.

 

"How come it's so cheap?" he asked.

 

Jafar replied "Well, a lot of people use special tools or equipment and take a long time. I just put two tent pegs in the ground six feet apart, tie the camel's feet to them  so its back legs are spread, get two flat stones and bang them together with the camel's dangly bits in between."

 

"Isn't that painful?" Ahmed asked.

 

Jafar replied, "Only if I get my thumbs caught."

Not sure which, either Aldi or Lidl, sell a chocy biscuit called Polar, and they have no jokes hidden in the wrapper - just like penguins, I guess. perhaps we could start some crowd funding?

In Aldi they are called "Seal" bars, but no seal jokes fortunately. Same taste in chocolate but no taste in jokes!

Not quite on the topic of Triang/Hornby 4 wheelers but this chap has an inetresting idea for pre grouping coaches;

Thanks for this. I have just ordered 2, like he says in the video, you still only pay one lot of postage for more than one so good value. Actually cheaper, in my experience, than buying second hand locos at toy fairs just to get the chassis. Now to think of something to mount on them, watch this space.

Thanks, I stand corrected!
