    Obviously outsourcing it.

    Like i said, I saw lots of them*, so it's perfectly feasible one would end up under a floorboard or such and stay there until major works were done.

    *and if they were in Glasgow, they'd be in Mankyland and Scallyland, and probably Geordieland too.

    What a chap.

    So sometime after 1958 and before decimalisation in 1971.

    Bing search is your friend

    'Friend works as restorer. Just found this under floorboards of old property he’s working on ...' The Poke

    apparently something you do in the rigging.



    The price list is even better.



    You need to ask HWMBO if he can manage a "Bubble Shake" tonight.

    Don't forget your green shield stamps!
