Jack my friend
I haven't been able to spend as much time on the forums as wanted - so usually a quick fleet through then out, but this was really nice to stop in here and see that that you are on the receiving end of nice gifts- because its usually you who is so thoughtful and generous.

To Âchillepattada and btb01 and Eleanor - thank you for being such kind and thoughtful people.

That’s a pretty good mail day, Jack!

That Alpin looks like a handy pattern. I, too, like the idea of knives put together using old blades/parts, and that’s a real shame about all those old Sheffield blades sent for a swim!

Thanks Meat raffles are pretty common in pubs here too

I remember you saying that, Jack. I hadn’t heard of them before we moved to Minnesota. It’s an interesting tradition, and I couldn’t pass up that sticker!

And couldn't happen to a nicer guy!!

Exactly!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Many of you know this from experience, sometimes gifting a knife is even more enjoyable than receiving one.

WOW is right! Well done to the givers and Jack you are a worthy recipient of such generosity. I really like the Alpin. The Albers is something to behold as well. Congrats.

Top stuff JB..
Club Dalmeny has a meat raffle on Friday...One drunken night I splurged out on 20bux worth of tickets and won 5 out 8 meat trays...rigged or what?
There was a kid there with what looked like mum ,2 nanas and 3 aunties/life partners They had bought a load of tickets for him but didnt win anything...I felt so sorry for him... I went over and said.. Hey mate you're cooking breakfast! and gave him the breakfast meat tray.
15cwt of bacon, Sausages ,rissoles and a narwhales liver.
Stoked.A good deed is its own reward for sure...
Meanwhile in MY mailbox my new stereo needle turned up today...wrong size..rassenfrassen.

Thanks again buddy

Yeah, it's nicely made too Imagine how many blades were lost in the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864!

You know you're in a good working-class pub when there's a meat raffle! The sticker is very cool!

Hear, Hear!!

Thanks Charlie

Sounds like a good way of getting out of there in one piece, as well as a kind gesture! They must have been pleased with that breakfast
