They are next to the cotter pins and wrenches. Near the Duck tape.🙂 -
Way too obscure for me!

I believe in apprenticeships and cadet ships. I won a Cadetship and got an engineering degree after six years of part-time study in evening classes. The people who did it that way did better in their subsequent careers than the full time students. They graduated with six years of hands on experience in the workplace.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Bottomley I think he is a reincarnation of Horatio Bottomley, who was tipped to be Prime Minister of England. Each time he was prosecuted he claimed it was a conspiracy. -
In a Trump-like exercise of vanity, Keith Ryall named the castle after himself.

Our community association had a lovely Australia Day ceremony at the Common, under gum trees. We all sang the National Anthem then sat around and chatted over a picnic lunch for two hours. Numbers probably up on previous years. Average age 70+. Not one young person there.

I meant mining dump trucks but I see that the Scania G series is used in mining so I was wrong about that. Now owned 100% by VW.

Probably both answers true. The one I was looking for is that Caterpillar is the only one still making trucks.

When does a spanner become a wrench? When it goes to the USA?

I hate those hand tightened chucks. When they slip they score the drill, then you have to grind off the burr. Then it may not drill true.

The bloke who had the York museum also had one in Freo. It was the better one, but it closed. He had done time for some 80s corporate stuff.

Greenland was called Greenland for a reason. Also Vinland where grapes grew. Just a thousand or so years ago. The cycles have always been there. -
When I went to school a port was the rectangular brown Globite job. At Wagga Wagga High, the boys all had them. When I moved to Broken Hill only girls had them and I copped a lot of abuse. So I wrapped mine in lots of stripes of different coloured insulation tape, making it a bit of a showpiece, and the abuse ended.
