Hi Big joe,

I can only hope that my work gets better & better as I have a very good teacher.

Some of the best production welders during the war years were women. Probably because they did what they were told! (Pity it doesn't work at home) W/A

 

[Bigjoe]

Thats fighting talk if ever i heard it W/A!

There's some nice pieces in your album Mandy, keep them coming

Some rather nice pieces there, Mandy, but do you creep around stables late at night and de-shod horses while they sleep?

 

[mum of two]

Thanks Guys,
For the comments on my album. I would say that i am a goo all rounder & am good in the house as well . Although I know which I would rather do out of the two. I do what I am told sometimes being good all the time is boring.
No I do not creep up on horses at night I am too busy getting my beauty sleep & doing wifey things.

I will keep up dating my album as I get time. Does anyone know if you can put videos on here & how . As my hubby videoed me welding?

Thanks Mandy

Ok....like most of you guys know me a bit by now, surely i coulden't leave this comment like this!
Indeed the best production welders during the war were women that's true, but only because they are better welders than men.......we are precise, accurate and have patience, i even believe it has been proven that women make better looking welds than men...

Welcome mandy! Great stuff you made there!!
If you'll excuse me now, i'll go hide behind the couch....

 

[Wozzaaah]

we are precise, accurate and have patience,

And you're far better at operating machinery than us.....the washing machine, the cooker, the dishwasher, the iron, the lawnmower....................................................

 

[mum of two]

Hi,
Yes we are better at such things but now we want too play with the boys toys . So look out.............................

 

[paulmowers]

Hmmmm

I think I may have worded that a bit differently dear, but I'm sure no one on here will take it the wrong way!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mum of two]
