wifey don't mind what I buy as its better than money in the bank where else can you treble your money and get the use out of it as well
Me too, I need a bigger workshop though!I'm trying!!
just the prices are going to go sky high ebay to blame as well
We aren't all old duffers @ronan
Incorrect.Well young old duffers then. I am involved with a scheme trying to get kids into the trade of fitter,, they do two days in college and we show them the various elements of the trade. Kids are just not interested in working with their hands or in anything you might get dirty at.
Snap. 37.Yeh I know what you mean, if it doesn't involve computer stuff it's no interest to them. I'm certainly not old at 37 but I'm definitely a duffer
Incorrect.
There parents weren't interested in it so never passed the inclination on
Lots of kids do tinker and are interested.
Right. And how many kids in the 70s were more interested in poncing around discos and concerts than the same.Well i have seen it first hand and a lot are simply not interested. The first day they spend in the machine shop, and its a real chore to get them to come back in after break, often its one or two. The last lot decided to have a pool tournament and look at porn on their phones

Likewise for the 80s and 90s.
Plenty of kids spend there time tinkering with cars and bikes and have an interest.
Again your generalising Ronan.I actually think its the ability to concentrate they have lost, phones interfere with the ability to see things through. Seriously look at youngsters in a group, they stand there for a minute and the phone comes out for a check, and its put away again, a minute later same again, phone out and checking it.
You must tell me your secret, I’m having issues getting any purchases past the wifewifey don't mind what I buy as its better than money in the bank where else can you treble your money and get the use out of it as well
one reason I have learnt is don't complain when she buys stuff just quietly choke and say very nice when under your breath for christs sake .then when you buy and she chunters just quote she has just bought stuff and I didn't complainYou must tell me your secret, I’m having issues getting any purchases past the wife
