"Bespoke" gave away your English heritage. That a word we seldom use here. We would say "custom." : )

Cordless screwdrivers don't care which way the screw is facing.


Cordless drivers seldom see a straight-slot screw Jerry!

If you are one of the three lucky people to land one, I daresay in a few year's time...and it doesn't clock any miles, you could sell it on for a tidy profit!


They used to say (many years ago now...) that you could own new Rolls Royces for ever, without spending multiple fortunes on them - just a single fortune. The trick was to order a new car from them. They had a 2-year waiting list. At the end of the wait, the day you pick up your new car, you order another one. When *that* one comes along, you could sell the previous one for more than the cost of the new one, to people who would pay over the odds to avoid having to wait for the 2 years.

I have no idea if that would still apply...

Sounds a sensible way to make some money Bloke. Unfortunately, I would have to sell my house (and my neighbours) just to get started!
