I might use my catapult to get them down Harry…Now where did I leave my catapult. :wink:

hiya,
I always had a catapult as a kid in fact Dave, I was an expert in the manufacture
of that very weapon that’s if there was the old inner tube about for the necessary
propulsion material, my Mam was always telling me you’ll have somebody’s eye out
with that thing, but It’s funny (with the exception of Long John Silver) I never ever
came across a person who had damaged vision as a result of me aiming my weapon
in their direction, I often wonder what my teacher’s did with all the catapults they
confiscated from me on the odd occasion’s I showed up at school, but I always knew
of a tree that had a suitable fork in it for my next project you see I was a budding
entrepeneur “if I could spell it” in those far off days. Oh’ as a sideline I did breed and
sell albino rats and that brought in in a few bob until their mothers sent the kids to
my house with the merchandise and demanding their money back.
thanks harry, long retired.

I can see you were the local wheeler dealer in your neck of the woods Harry. I did have a catapult, but don’t remember what happened to it. The one I had was made with proper catapult elastic which an old boy in a local market town shop sold,along with guns and air gun pellets etc. When you bought the catapult elastic the crafty old sod used to stretch it and charge for more than you actually had.
Cheers Dave.
