Doing a bit of DIY and unable to find my bricklaying trowel I decided to treat myself to a new one. An 11" bricklaying trowel, I wonder what they're called now.
They're called Brick Trowel 280mm (11") in English and six other languages.
Brilliant.
"Où est le eleven inch truelle?"
You know where you are with feet and inches.

Ah, yes. I see I've missed an important element of my thread which would have been heralded as genius, if I'd remembered to include it.
Little things please little minds.
I was so disproportionately pleased that despite 'going metric' nearly sixty years ago you can still buy an eleven inch trowel, it occurred to me that others might like to post similar minutiae that has tickled them.
Tell us what teeny thing amused you.

For example, back in the days when drivers had full control of their indicators, making sure you cancelled the indicator between flashes to ensure there was a full flash and you didn't cut it off mid fl
Give it up, Dicky. This isn't going to get going.
No? Well, where are all the nay sayers who post at the start of threads predicting failure?
They'll be along soon

Tell us about when you derived a lot of pleasure from something whose insignificance suggested you might not.
I am an astrophotography nerd (among a host of other hobbies) I recently stumbled on a 3D printed Allsky setup that really appealed to my sense of gadgetry and general geekyness, once I finished the 2 or so days of printing the parts I discovered the original designer had made a bit of a snafu and the internal cage does not fit inside the casing properly. Have now modified the existing print to all fit together properly. Found it more satisfying than I ought to.Byker28i said:
Nothing is more obvious than having bought a new tool, you'll immediately fond the old one, prefer it's feel over the new one...
Well, yes. Except I can't find it.But, when eventually it turns up, I will get more pleasure out of the discovery than it probably warrants. Little things, and all that.

We (and lots of other countries) still use Stephenson's ridiculous rail gauge of 4ft 8½ inches. Thankfully now expressed as 1,435 mm. Surely the result of George drinking too much Brown Ale. Note, anecdotes about Roman chariots, cart axles and NASA will not be allowed.
