My degree was in Sports Science, always felt edgy walking home from lab sessions with two dozen small unmarked bags of white powder or tablets in my bag depending on what LEGAL substance we were testing.

A little 'off topic' but your post reminded me of an incident; about 30 years ago my brother was a customs officer, one day a passenger arrived with 400 cigarettes, he explained to the passenger that the allowance was 200 and so he would have to pay duty on the extra 200. The passenger lost his temper, shouted and swore and tore open the packet, then ripped 200 cigarettes into pieces. When he finished, my brother calmly looked at him and said - Sir, now that you have torn up your allowance, would you kindly pay duty on these 200 cigarettes!

So a slightly late post....
On our family trip the Wednesday before last into London, we each had the opportunity to do something we wanted. In my daughter's case this was to go the Waterstones just off Piccadilly as she has turned something of a book work worm. It's apparently the biggest book shop in Europe with 8 miles of shelves.
I picked this up whist I was there as I thought be a nice memento of the trip despite a certain website selling it for a lot less.

And that branch of Waterstones is pretty special.
Thanks Mike. I did have a quick look online and it seemed to get good reviews - I could have got it for half the price on Amazon but I thought why not as a memento and it wasn't that bad for what I paid.
And as for the shop, it is pretty amazing. It was my first time in there.

Looks like the tempest is flying off the shelves then (sorry). Interesting to see Airfix go back to poly bags as well…..
Wow!!!!
Tell me about it. I'm going to have to buy some Synthetic Ordnance Works main legs for this beauty as the resin weighs a ton.
Double wow!!!
That is some serious kit there Alan, good luck mate, I look forward to seeing it all installed, should be amazing.
Got these from the local haberdashery for the Constipation and mesh which is nice if they had them when I needed them at the time.
The latest thread is Polysilk...no fibres and the weave is quite pronounced and in scale. Now you don't need to rub in beeswax and flame the fibres off.
Cheers,
Richard.
