I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I bet they only agreed to repair the slide storage system albeit from a plank of wood.

I needed a pair or counters in the vault. Workshops were not allowed to make them as that was an MPBW job (plus 49% departmental expenses). They did agree to repair them though.

They repaired the 8x4 hardboard beautifully and finished them in shellac to resist bored aircrew boot scuffs.

I suppose in those days we used our own 'code' words incomprehensible to the civvies. The latter now have their revenge in earth extraction equipments.

To the other list we can add:

No gash hands to do gash jobs.

No GEF to do professional gash jobs.
