I am still tied up with the corporate bullshit. When you think it can't get any worse they surprise you. As the years go on, they seem to be able create even bigger fking idiots who are put in positions of responsibility and decision making |

As retirement approaches some nutsack with a laptop decided Oldie will go back on the tools for the first time since 1978.
Do they still use Whitworth spanners?

In England that's known as a 'Brummagem Screwdriver'. |

""The widely used (except in the U.S.) British Standard Pipe thread, as defined by the ISO 228 standard (formerly BS-2779), uses Whitworth standard threads. Even in the United States, personal computer liquid cooling components use the G1⁄4 thread from this series." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_WhitworthPS from same wiki page: "In the 2011 movie Cars 2 by Disney / Pixar, the vital clue to the discovery of the villain, Sir Miles Axlerod, is that he uses Whitworth bolts." |

In England that's known as a 'Brummagem Screwdriver'. Two well coordinated hammers on a stuck nut works wonders. Actually the Chinese apparently used to tighten up their nuts on steam boilers this way before impact wrenches were invented. (So I heard decades ago. Can't find anything on google) |

You should see this in a positive light, as a golden opportunity. Assuming you'll have some nice female engineering apprentices this is the time where without needing to fear a sexual harassment suite you can ask "do you KISS?"  |

Or you could try the more direct line of 'Does this hankie smell of Rohypnol to you?' or 'Would you mind awfully if I kick your back doors in?'. |

Didn't I just say 'Keep It Simple, Stupid" ? |
