When a customer says to me "oh you have a big bench saw, makes your job easy", I always retort with 'it makes the job less difficult".

No, he's just too needy.

I don't like it. Very rarely use it....... I doubt my Dad has ever used it.

Like when you are looking in your own mirror?

Here's a picture taken in (?) 2004 on Boscombe beach. I posted it in the last thread suggesting member's pix.
Yeah, I know, we don't dig holes that deep anymore, it's not safe. But my lad wanted to dig to Oz!
I'm fat(ter), greyer and worn out now...
