siddha 825 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Like Lizzie I use my phone. I have box in a drawer of what were considered exotic mechanicals. These need to be flogged off before the daughter skips them on my demise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I know lots of soldiers did things like that during WW 1, in particular helmets, but I wouldn't want anythng like that in the house, still less on my person. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I haven't worn a watch since I left school...
