Interrupting Stan Shaw's Marmalade Sandwich

36 years ago!! I'd say Stan likes what he does!! And the way he does it!!
Great pic, Jack!
 
Probably the same drill rig he's still using.
Thanks for the tommied and scene info, Jack and Mick.

Just dashed off the Back Label and GEC embellished it.
I hope you will forgive my amatuerish rantings - it's the place where I actually get to be hands on besides (he groans) wrapping packages!

Not at all, Jack! I am glad that someone caught my cross-reference, however obscure!!:thumbup:

I thought it was a nice touch Charlie :)

I'm sure Stan would be tickled to know his lunch has created such a stir and is being talked about on t'internet! :D
 
Oranges do not grow in England. The British favor oranges from Seville.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmalade
"Orange Marmalade in Britain happened by accident. Supposedly a ship full of oranges broke down in the port of Dundee and the ingenious Scots made marmalade out of them."

fwiw, a similar story is told about Scottish ingenuity in harvesting materials from shipwrecks that contained Ballast made of African Blackwood, which was promptly adopted as the preferred wood for bag pipes.
 
I think that Label is just fantastic! Well done Charlie for adding that in - Jack must feel ever so slightly pleased with that - I know I am for both of you!
 
Here are a couple of Stan Shaw lobsters in my collection. The bottom one is the older one built in 1957, the other in 1976.

Fantastic Charles, thanks for showing those :thumbup:

I went over to see Stan a couple of weeks ago as I had a few bits and pieces for him. He is keeping well, and was on good form. He was particularly excited by a large handmade file I had for him, made before he was born - 90 years ago in December. Unfortunately, they are building a facsimile 17th century workman's cottage directly above his workshop in the museum, and the racket is unbelievable. I happened to have a spare pair of earplugs in my bag, so gave them to Stan! :D

I'm glad Stan is keeping well, Jack. :thumbup: Most 90-year-olds need hearing aids, not ear plugs! :D

LOL! :D Yeah, Stan was considered the runt of the litter, got TB as a kid, and spent 10 years in hospital. His dad died in his thirties, and Stan told me he never expected to turn 40. Still going strong though :) He makes knives for all his grandkid's birthdays, and does them one of his Hallamshire Knives (an oversize Sportsman's pattern) for their 18th. His 15-year old granddaughter is always asking him, "What are you making for me next Grandad?" She recently asked him when he's starting on her 18th birthday knife. Stan told her, "I'm going nowhere!" We had a good laugh when he was telling me about it. He's started the knife though, and it was nice to be able to have a look at it :) :thumbup:
 
I looked up Hallamshire knife and got hazards of gamma-knife surgery. I'm afraid I don't know what a Sportsman pattern is either.
