It if took that long to build one I'm not surprised they're no longer around.

Shows just how right it was, that there was still a waiting list, when it stopped production
For the first couple of years production, you could sell your new Rangie (if you could part with it, after being on the waiting list) for 50% more than you paid for it

Yeah rose tinted spectacles aren't what they used to be. Proper glass and rose water is what they need.

I'm no weaponsmith but a battle axe made from fur would be singularly useless.

Vinegar with bite, proper vinegar, vinegar that doesnt steam when you put it on your chips.
The moment yesterday, that split second moment before I drilled my new number plate holes on the dining room floor. The moment when anyone sensible would have realised a flimsy mate wouldn't stop the drill going straight through and into the floor.
Also, the moment I had an extremely rare lie in, thus enabling my good lady wife to get up before me and see those holes before I could hide them somehow.

Reminds me...
When my kids were youngsters, I had an air rifle and set up a shooting range in the loft, it worked quite well.
For some reason one day I decided we could stand one end of the upstairs landing...and place a heavy board in front of my sons wardrobe in his bedroom at the other end of the landing...and shoot at a target on the heavy board. It worked great.
Until we finished...I picked up the board and saw half a dozen pellets had punched through...into his wardrobe door
My wife wasnt best pleased
