| Shetack DTC - A Warning! |
| (1/1) |
| Pete W.:
Hi there, all, I guess many of you will be familiar with the Shetack DTC (2nd edition, 1938). I find mine so useful that it lives in the pocket of my white workshop coat. I recently wiped something down with IPA (that's Isopropyl Alcohol, not India Pale Ale! :lol: :lol: :lol: ) on some blue paper towel. Thing is, I then parked the paper towel in my workshop coat pocket. Sometime later, I needed to consult the DTC but discovered, horror of horrors, the IPA had attacked the printing ink. Here's a picture: The one on the left is the casualty, the one on the right is 'first reserve'. [Years ago, a rather cruel neighbour remarked that when I fall off my twig I'll have two tombstones, one with the usual biographical data, the other bearing the inscription 'It's Always Handy To Have A Spare!'!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: ] Actually, I have more than one spare DTC. :clap: :clap: :clap: They really are that useful. So, dear reader, take note - keep your DTC safe from the ravages of alcohol, be it IPA, Ethyl, Methylated Spirit or whatever! |
