Yes. These were not loose in a bag like the h7's, they were in a tight red sleeve, arrived without visible damage to the edges. Saves a lot of time when I want a better hole than a drill. Boring bar for anything important.
They need to do a crackdown over here. All the silage contractors & farmers drive around the roads in their loading shovels with front mounted buckrakes sporting a row of sharp tines with no protection fitted.

How long on the naughty step [if FB even has one?], and what did you do to incur their wrath?

My wife is always there for posting jokes to a grown up jokes page.How long on the naughty step [if FB even has one?], and what did you do to incur their wrath?
anyhoo. Today I acquired more soon to be shinyness.
No idea why it’s got 2 wicks. She has gone to town and bought a spare chimney and new wick so it should be a runner.
Duplex chimneys are either round or oval. The oval one is supposed to allow for the 'fact' that the flame in these is also oval. the fun starts when you ask if the long side should be in line with the wicks or across them...

Or twice the heat, greenhouse heaters used to have two wicks.

From a very grateful customer after I delivered his new masonry saw this morning and indulged in a spot of knuckle boom wizardry. Loaded all 6 tons and 8 metres of it yesterday from a yard near Newcastle, after a local hiab operator failed miserably
, and delivered it to a teeny tiny "industrial park" near Alton in Hampshire that was so tight I had to drop the trailer and set the crane up alongside it. Lifted the saw off, dropped the front end on skates then picked the back end up and pushed it through his door with a ridiculous amount of aplomb 
thus saving him hours of work and having to pay machine movers daft money. Unfortunately I confessed said gratuity to OH so apparently the extra mature rib-eye steaks are on me this weekend 
.I stand dumbfoundedly corrected and happily so.
Just made a pot of tea after parking up for the night near Newark and found another £20 note in the cubby hole under the dashboard. It's been a genuinely great day and this has made it even better. I've never had a tip like this in all my working life so this is one of those red letter days for me!!
