If we're showing old tools will show this old made in England wrench. When i was growing up the local councils used to have hard rubbish collections 4 times a year, you could put rubbish and junk out on the nature strip and council trucks would come along and remove it. It was heaven for us kids, we would ride around towing trailers on our bikes or pulling billy carts and grab what we could use, anything we thought we could find a use for, and any old toys or bikes were just gold. I remember one collection as me and my brothers and dad were walking from the back shed with stuff, people had already taken half the stuff we had already put out there, and old scroungers would drive around after dark sorting through the piles of rubbish. Now you get 2 a year and have to book, but people who do not want to waste one of their 2 bookings just wait till it's dark and dump their rubbish on your heap. My neighbors who used to live opposite me saw there pile multiply about 5 fold a few years ago till i set them straight, i told them don't give people a heads up. They started putting their rubbish out days before it was due to be picked up, i told them wait till the night before. Anyway last week was out having my early morning walk and found a pile of rubbish, it had some books and had a look through looking for something interesting, zilch, but spotted some things sticking out from the bottom of the heap, gold,-tools. Now what bloke can resist tools, ya can never have too many, i found this English made wrench and some spanners made in Japan. Now all you geniuses out there, can you tell me about Japanese tools, i know nothing about them, but they look like really good quality. Any way hope you all have a good weekend, and enjoy lockdown those in the " Olde Dart ".
What a great find, and it looks good with your Lambsfoot
The system when you were a kid sounds like a good system
Here, it's very difficult/expensive to get rid of old junk, and as a consequence, it gets dumped on the street Good Morning Guardians! We made it through another week!
Hope everyone is doing well, and that you're looking forward to the weekend I thought I'd slip my ebony '18 in my pocket today, for a change 
. Good thing is that my trips to the hospital are brief and relatively uneventful
