Actually a corkscrew/bottlestop from Stiles & Bates. It went together well and I'm rather pleased with it, although it was challenging my skills to get both sides to look even (ish).

Very nice, but I have never used the bottle stoppers we have.

Is that because of that thieving alcoholic laptop of your is pinching it?:devil:

Great looking corkscrew there David.:thumbs::thumbs:

I'd like to blame the laptop, but as my wife isn't here I will blame her:whistling:

My first thought was I have never seen that combination before then reading down I find I am not alone. Never mind sometimes we surround ourselves with memories although you have the old and the new there mate, neat and well thought out love them.

Saw that for the first time in the S&B catalogue on Saturday and lo and behold here's another.

Very nice and it looks in balance to me !

Jesus, have you seen the price S & B are asking for these? £17.85! I fear they're not in the real world!

Blooming' heck! That's not the price I paid from them online. Think it was nearer 9 quid. Only about a month ago as well??
