Steve-o:
I sent a work experience lad through to the other workshop for a box of sparks for the grinder as it was looking a little low lol
If that was in Newcastle in the early 80`s, that was probably me 
I was also told, as a spotty herbert, in my first ever job, the best way to break in a new shiney pair of safety boots was to "soak em in diesel over night "
