Nut Loose
Of no interest to me at all really, because I had just said the same thing in my post when I said:
"Morale aside, I couldn't help thinking that the gas for the cutting equipment lost in this operation was just so much more important than the IRON railings that were taken, only to end up as so much scrap metal"
I highlighted IRON just in case anyone had thought iron was a lightweight material suitable for aircraft production, or strong like steel used in armour
I was trying (and failing in your case) to point out that although the iron was taken just to boost morale, the man hours and gas used could have been much better utilised for war material production
