Christmas presents !! What did you get ?🙂

Tetters found a match - Ford Prefect. It was in Guildford after all and not really from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.

That brought back a memory.

In the sixties a friend had an old Ford Prefect. He worked in the lab in GEC in Trafford Park.

One morning he went down to one of the main production aisles with a drawing and spoke to the foreman.

"Can you make this for me?"

"Yes, but not for a couple of weeks, we're that busy. Anyway, where's your order for it?"

"Oh! It's not for work, it's for the bottom part of one of the B pillars of my Ford Prefect, which is rusting away.

"Why didn't you say? Leave it with me and come and collect it around 5.00 pm."
 
A new pair of RHS gold leaf gloves, still made of buckskin, still better than any others I have seen, but not up to the standard of the ones I got three years ago. Ain't it always the way, "How could we make these a bit more cheaply?".
