I thought it was the barber that used to be the surgeon. Perhaps the butcher would have been a better bet back in those days.

Meanwhile, the fully qualified ones could have a go at anything? Better not let Hassan (my local barber) get wind of that!

Yeah, it's a bit like that unfathomable game on the radio, "Mornington Crescent"! But surely you remember James Burke's excellent television series called "Connections", John?

Pity, John. It was a brilliant piece of work. If you get a chance to get hold of it (on DVD, or whatever), don't hesitate. There was a book, too, but of course it could not adequately convey JB's unique style of presentation. Clever stuff!
On the topic of TV (yes, not much do with tools, I guess), I don't bother with it at all these days! Just don't have the time to waste with it. I prefer the web, where you can pick and choose what you want to look at, any time of day or night.
