    Exactly ! You get what you pay for. When I worked in the aircraft industry I only bought the very best of tools, but now, to hang a picture in the house, or do a small job at the allotment, the cheap gear is all sitting in my tool shed, there’s nothing worse in DIY than finding you need a certain drill bit or screw and having to drive to B&Q to buy one. That’s why I pick up bits and pieces from the likes of Lidl….i might never need them, but they are there for a simple, one off job . Cheers.

    I was in the Metro Centre yesterday, I don’t often go shopping, and I couldn’t help but notice the amount of people wearing Zavretti Canada gear, and I saw their baseball caps on sale for £25 !!! Is this another “in “ brand ? Cheers,

    I always had him down as a salt of the earth, working class lad that had, as most of us had, a rebellious adolescence, but grew out of it and became a reformed character….not a middle class snob who dresses up for “afternoon drinks” ! To misquote an American Base ball saying; “ Tell us it ain’t so, Bangers; tell us it ain’t so …..”. Cheers.

    The thought of Bangers getting dressed up for afternoon drinks with his good lady runs contrary to everything I’ve ever imagined about him ! Cheers.

    Banger is alright, he’s good fun and takes a bit of ribbing and has the comebacks. But he does seem to invite ridicule ! Cheers.

    But you reckon she’s happy to be seen out with you wearing clown boots ? You really are a lucky man, Bangers, she must really love you ! LOL ! It’s like when a wife asks you “does my backside look fat in this dress ?” , you never , EVER say “yes” ! LOL ! ”What do you think of my new boots , pet ?”…. “Yes , love , they are, err, different”. Anything to keep them happy !

    You HAVE to wear them in some of the boozers I used to frequent ….! LOL ! if I’d worn those clown boots, I’d have been laughed out of the place ! Cheers.

    He sent me photos, model number and colour he wanted . If he had sent me all that for a pair of clown boots, I’d of disinherited him ! LOL ! Cheers.

    My grandson asked me to get these for him; I’d never even heard of them ! I guess nine year olds are more fashion conscious than their grandpa’s ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I pick up things like screw drivers, drill bits ,step drill bits, grinding and flapper discs, boxes of rivets, springs, jubilee clips ,etc. when I’m in Lidl. Not professional tools, but certainly good enough for odd D.I.Y jobs around the house and allotment. Cheers.

    A teaching union is to advise teachers to add to their curriculum that Reform is “far right and racist”. That is undemocratic and brainwashing kids. Schools should concentrate on the “three R’s” before religious and political dogma. Cheers.

    Isn’t Easter originally a pagan festival, named after the pagan goddess Eastore ? The Easter egg was a symbol of rebirth to the pagans, the birds started laying in the spring after the winter. The Easter bunny is actually a hare, worshiped by the pagans as a mystical beast. The Christians simply incorporated Easter into their own religion, as they did with many other pagan festivals, such as the Christmas tree, to bring the pagans to eventually turn to Christianity. Here endeth today’s lesson ! LOL ! Cheers.

    I think your wife loves you more than you realise mate! LOL! Them skeets would look well on a p***y spinning a waltzer round on a fairground ! But if you’re happy with them, that’s all that counts ! Cheers.

    I was in New Zealand a while back in a town called Toakaroa and I went in a bar and a lot of the Māoris were barefoot and the cockies all had old Barbour type jackets on and shorts and wellies , drinking Lion Red ! I fitted right in ! LOL ! Cheers.

    But in all honesty, I remember kids going to school In wellies in the summer as it was all they had. Im glad it’s different today. Cheers.

    I was in the Metro Centre today paying a small fortune at Footasylum for trainers for my grandson for the missus to take to Saudi for him and I saw a new shop that had “gentlemen’s” suits so I had a quick perusal, I could have bought a tidy second hand car for the price they wanted for a tweed three piece, so I’ll stick to “Atlas For Men “ and army surplus ! LOL! Cheers.
