I wonder is there a club for those of us unlucky enough to have a sprag clutch explode. A loyal band of brothers in adversity. Maybe a badge of dishonour with an appropriate depiction of disintegration, or even a black arm band. Yes it has happened to me after many years of RE (Built Like a Gnu) ownership. I know, I know, my fault for trying to start on a feeble battery. Hey,ho, please learn from my mistake.

Hello Papasmurf------Well I'm not particularly a "Folk" person but that had me in tears I don't mind telling you ( Goes with the age thing I suppose ??)......and then by following some of the links I found the Wikipedia history of Jay and Molly ( what wonderful people ) and then I listened to The Royal Marines Band version.........So that was my Sunday morning sorted !!...........I could see a soloist Bagpiper playing that at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day perhaps ??

My offering is slightly different as it's aimed at the owner of a failed sprag, so Beamish--- and all the other unfortunates in this situation, here's The Walker Brothers}-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll suggest "Shake, Rattle and Roll" which seems to cover the description folk give of sprag failure!

I like the San Remo penne with Campbell`s spaghetti sauce with beef and a sprinkle of parme---OH! I thought we were talking about food.

Music to be played when you give up and bury the Enfield in your back garden

A tearful thank you one and all for your moving expressions of sympathy. I visited the patient today on the ward where they have the dubious pleasure of examining her innards. All very sad. The next thing is to work out how I can jump on the "crowd funding" band wagon to meet the surgeon's fees!
