I was sent out for a set of compass gaps, I was not as gullible as they thought at 15, I cut out some circles and presented them to them.

Turned out that it was the armature from a large motor which weight a few cwts and needed a wheel barrow to shift from the armature winding dept to the stores where I worked at 15.

Ah but have you got a left handed one?

Yes. I have at least 4 adjustable spanners and it used to annoy me that I could never remember which way to turn it to tighten it. That was until I put 2 down side by side and realised one has a left hand thread worm screw, and the other a right hand thread. So which way to turn it to tighten it depends which one I have picked up. No wonder I could not remember which way to turn it.

I've got one of those, its annoying having that 1 adjustable that has the screw the other way
