London Best

Badger.

To be fair, I’m only playing at it. I have kit, but probably not the best.

ARCTIC not Artic. Artic. Are the trucks Guy used to fix! When I read your post I thought it was a programme about trucks!

It’s ruddy perishing this time of year!

I went to an A&E 2am one morning with terrible stomach pain. They did a pee test and diagnosed kidney stones. They gave me painkillers and told me to see a doctor next morning. I didn’t bother phoning (waste of time) but went into reception and told them I need to see a doctor. “There are no appointments available” was the reply. I said, “I don’t want an appointment, I need to see a doctor.” “You have to have an appointment, “ said the receptionist. So I said, “No, I need to see a doctor, I’ll just sit here until one becomes available.” I was seen in less than ten minutes and sent to hospital that morning.

Likewise, not had a bike since the early 70’s. May be my sense of humour, but I couldn’t resist buying this last year.

At least 90% of motorists take no notice of whatever speed limit they are driving in anyway. Returning from stalking yesterday, most of the 90 mile journey was motorway. I used the M5, M42 and M1. All the M5 that I used was restricted to 50mph. Most of the M42 was 50 (round Birmingham) and every bit of the M1 on my route was 50. Other than that, where possible I travelled at a steady 70 in my 15 year old Defender 110 (125 bhp). Virtually without exception, whilst doing 70mph every car and particularly vans passed me as if I was standing still.

Go away? In the shooting season?

I, too, have come to the conclusion that the oval brush is to clean the front locking lugs cavity. I can assure you that the brush is oval and is not mis-sharpen through use. It was not a good photo, to be fair.

Couldn’t agree more. Hence my post querying if anyone has a use for such a thing.

Of Norfolk, maybe?

Thank you. I have a 1958 PH catalogue and the brush does not appear in there.

No, it is not squashed, but obviously made that way.

I have here what appears to be a cleaning jag for an oval bore rifle. It is marked Parker Hale. Made in England. It has a female thread to fit a standard rifle rod. There is no calibre marked on it. The jag part is tapered and behind it is a bristle brush, measuring (by eye) about 3/4 in. by 5/8 in. Overall length about 4 in. It appears new and unused. Does anyone have any use for such a thing? It is no use to me and was amongst some stuff which came from a (now deceased) RFD friend. .

All the stupid bhp and “ mine does 0-60 in under…..” is just Willy waving.
