Well perhaps wire graduates to an attractive opposite when one gives up pulling it?

As for imperial tools, the 1963 Mini has brought Pa's socket set from deep hibernation and another enthusiast has just bought a new set (although the seller, Zeniith, apologized that they would no longer be stocking imperial sets but would be able to get them easily "from across" on demand). Pa's set came 'liberated' from one of the lease lend ML engine consignments that he was obliged to dump at the end of hostilities - what a waste).
