Aye. Ruining the time honoured tradition of just ramming tools willy nilly back into a drawer. And don't get me started on socket sets with the wee tray with cut outs sized exactly for all the socket sizes. It isnae a box o' milk tray. Just pile them in. Some blimey will have made off with the 12mm one anyway. And fire in some AFs and Whitworths just to complicate things.

A bad workmen doesnae blame his tools, he cleans and orders them. A proper grease monkey just dumps them manky in the bottom if a bag. Along with a half used roll of PTFE and a squashed caramel wafer.

I always find a few copper olives and some plastic wedges in the bottom of my bag - I can't ever recall using anything like that and have no idea how they got there

So, it was you what nicked them?
