This is actually a truism. Only yesterday I used a 4 inch length of chromed tubing which has been in my 'bits box' for 20 years to repair the connection between the roof downpipe and the water butt!

I will get it finnished before I buy.... %)

Plenty room... %)

Not expensive... %)

Had it for ages... %) 

Oh is it the first time youve seen it... %)

No I did not drive 300 miles just to pick up a book...I had to go to Glasgow for work %)  - sort of true!!

The traffic was bad, I thought it would be better having a walk (round a certain shop :-X ) then driving home when it calmed down
