Iron Retune Saw

2 August 2015

The iron has given up the ghost.   

It was Fat Steve's (RIP) so has had a fairly good innings given the hammer an iron gets in this house.

Trip to Tesco tomorrow. 

Do they do Tefal? 

Mrs Leftfoot  Rejoice!   

I strongly object to having to pay good money for.... An iron. 

I mean, what a waste.

Bentonbag  If we can pay good money for a hoover and dusters....

Drummerman  What's an iron?

Later

Bentonbag  So off I go to Sainsbury and buy a new one. 

Come home and get the old one out of the cwchdanstar and plug it in just to see. 

And bugger me the little light came on and the plate starts warming up.

Himself and I had had some discussion about whether there had been two irons in Sheffield "because Stephen had a spare of almost everything".   

We still have a brand new kettle, a portable tv and several digiboxes in the loft.   

But I couldn't remember a second iron. 

"Stephen pissing about" says Fester.

Ferretfingers has retuned all the set top boxes because, apparently, it's retune day.

Fester  "Ferretfingers.  You've lost the BBC News Channel on the bedroom telly.  

Come and put it back." 

A few moments later there is a "Got it" from Ferretfingers. 

Thunderthighs explains that the channel number is now 231.

"Who did that?  Who changed it from 130 to 231 without my permission?"

One feels his megalomania has taken a bit of a knock.

Woolerwoman  Did you ever get young Ferretfingers a chainsaw?

Bentonbag  No! He has two garden/pruning saws which have bow/arched handles, a folding pruning saw which is kept in the car for beachcombing trips, and a lovely Axcaliber (guess what I call it) woodsaw Mr & Mrs Quilt gave him for his 21st.

Woolerwoman  Now I know what to get for Christmas.
