When I left sainsburys many many MANY years ago I kept my nice fleeces they gave me as uniform. They turned into my dirty jobs fleeces for years until the zips went on them over time. Only had the 2nd one break a year or so ago! They were very good quality and very thick so I could zip it up then roll around under the car and it be nicer.

Still got my shirt, it's my dirty jobs shirt still, covered in paint and sealant and oil though as it's what I use to wipe my finger on 👌

I guarantee that towel has been used many times!

Possibly even used it myself.

Grim.

Lol! Of course. It looked a lot newer than that when I got it. Its been in the back of my heating cupboard for years now, since I got it. I very much doubt Sellafields made only one towel.

Gordon Tools of Sheffield electrician's screwdriver found in the street  a few days ago with a load of other fly tipping. I looked it up - around 1968. Just needs a good clean-up.

Not a tool but clearing a fly tipping for the council and found a  Mk4&5 Cortina door handle. Now in the spares stash.
