And even if it is, there’s got to be good argument that it’s not great for the dog’s welfare. It’s not quite the same as having your dog on the bed of your pick up.

PhilA Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I just bought this. Been after one for nearly a decade. 1950's "touch control" Royal electric typewriter. It's jammed up solid but the motor still runs (no keys work because the auto-repeat space button is stuck down- to the right of the space bar). Bought it to do envelopes because computer printer are horrible at it. I miss having a decent typewriter.

But they're well made, back from when Royal was absolutely dominating the market. They also came in fun pastel colors. Very very fifties.

I still remember one of our typists having problems with her golfball typewriter, after muttering at it for a while, she picked it up and dropped it on the floor, saying "Oh dear, I think it's broken" Tadhg Tiogar, PhilA, Skizzer and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I've gone through loads of youtube stuff lately - Car youtube, Machinist youtube, BBQ youtube, people building wind and water turbines, people wild camping all over the peak and lake districts. There's a load of tradesmen who do videos on their electricianng/building/plumbing stuff which is very interesting to me. Today I'm watching an australian bloke rod shit and fat out of some blocked drains. Amazing! louiepj, paulplom, Rab and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra touched areas thoroughly anti bac cleaned, me masked up and gloved aswell, knocking and leaving the prescription on the step or on a nearby ledge then walking a few metres back. Obviously leaving something low down on a doorstep isn't ideal for most people of age. Two lady's appeared at one address and I was called a "lovely young man" Couldn't help but think of this Weren’t put off by the skinhead on the property then?
