Champagne corks
Navvies thumbs
Chapel hat-pegs
A Braille T shirt

Another well known saying to add is "like Scammell wheel nuts".

Pete,

If you have need for a nut tightener, I claim that seat. I'm good with a wench, sorry, wrench

Wasn't it..."like the starter buttons on a Scammell?"

Hi all, including all you mockers of my information.

Red nuts - we all know the usage of those.
White painted on the face of the nut only denotes a R/H thread.
Blue painted on the face of the nut only denotes a L/H thread.

This information was gleaned from The Guru, Lawrie Winney, who had many years ago spoken to a guy that had blue nuts on a vehicle. The colour appeared to be genuine military as the history of the vehicle had been researched and that blue colour was there when the military demobbed the vehicle.

Who, us? Mockers?? That's simply not allowed here! I mean, who'd want to mock your blue nuts anyway?
