Thats fantastic Frankie. We used to save all the Shiny and keep it in the shiny box when I was in the mob. When it was full we took it to the scrappies and returned back drunk. There are several occasions that are quite memorable about shiny.

As a Clearance Diver, when shore based we're on bomb and mine disposal teams. The Plymouth team cover just about all the West of England and Wales. On Whitford Sands Beach in Wales the Americans who didn't have anything to take the place of mustard gas shells for test firing used to fire live mustard gas shells onto the beach during WWII. There are hundreds of these things on the beach and look somewhat like rocks nowadays with all the sea life that lives on them. We used to spend 2 weeks at a time, three times a year collecting these things and then some bods from Portandown came and collected them with an 8" piece of steel between the bed and cab of the lorry. On the first occasion they were supprised that the nose fuses were still attached which was because we were very wary of them; they were still full of mustard gas after all. They showed us that it was safe to take them off and from that point onwards the shiny box became fuller a lot faster, the nose fuses were solid brass. I've still got a couple of them.

I was based on Bincleves in Weymouth for my last 6 months and the lads had a system of stripping off wire from cables that went across the entire length of the breakwaters from Weymouth to Portland. there where lots of these cable all about 4" diameter so piss ups were quite regular. It was everybodies duty to get a 6' length every night to fill the shiny box. We had a new starter one day who went and got a length on his own and couldn't find an end so started a new cable. In the morning he said that the length he got was different to the ones we were cutting and had sparked. We thought this was static electricity until the gpo turned up as the whole of Portland no longer had telephones!!!!!! OOPs... Some thieving B4stards must have come on the arm of the breakwater during the night to steel cable......

Sorry to hijack your thread Frankie, it just brought back a load of memories.

I used to work for Telephone cables making the big fat cables that went across the oceans but we will say no more about that in case I incriminate myself I was expecting to see a female stripper and I'm sorry Frankie but your gadget as good as it is was most disappointing LOL
