Have to say @DEWALTtough, your “Pro Tradesman” trousers may have “Guaranteed Tough” written on them but they bloody aren’t. I’ve had to sew up the crotch three times within the first couple of weeks owning them, and now today a pocket has fallen off. Utter Rubbish.
Not sure I like the sound of an “Abrasive Strip Kit”... but maybe that says something about my mind? 😳

The first prototype of my 6” chef knife is still in daily use in the kitchen. One of the few instances where I actually get to use one of my own products with any regularity. Sadly too busy making stuff for other people to make things for myself 😕
I don’t do “tidy desk”. Never have. In my previous life as a designer I always felt at odds with that pristine “designerly” thing with minimal stuff, perfectly organised. This is definitely more my style 🙂
Phrases normal people don’t say: “I’m just lubing my anemometer.”
