    Well Mark taking over, everyone better get their kit in order...may try to post some more SOTD's, still just so hard to go through and see the hundreds of razors I want and don't need, the old, "Want it, want it, got it, got it, Oh My Gawd!" - which usually happens by the time I hit Sharpton's SOTD.

    Next SOTD for me, post a nice razor by something even more rare - an RTX 3060 Graphics card...that'll win for sure!

    Thanks chaps, your right Phrank, drooling over sotd has been the bane of my bank balance, and let's not get started on the many soaps and creams I now have because of Obie first teir thread

    I think the folks from the Commonwealth could consider putting into work some of those colourful notes featuring the queen's image, although I guess aussies would have to quadruple the amount

    I worked with an Aussie and it took quite a time to figure out what tools etc he wanted.
    When I first got to Canada from England half of what i said meant nothing to the locals.

    My shopping went in the boot, my engine was under the bonnet.

    I asked for a spanner and got blank looks, mole grips caused general hilarity and if you need to go don't even think of asking where the loo is unless your not in any hurry. I still don't know what Stilsons are called here.

    Am I the only person in N America that has a tow ball on their car?

    Asking my wife why she had a strop on or asking why she had the hump would usually make my Canadian wife smile.

    I went to Niagara Falls when I first got here and went to a restaurant, sat out on the patio and ordered pizza and chips from the menu. They bought pizza and a packet of crisps. I thought at the time, what do you have to do to get a plate of chips here, draw pictures?

    I still have to translate some of the things that are said on Coronation Street for my neighbor and the Full Monty was a complete mystery to some of my American friends.

    I can't tell you how many times I went to get something only to be told I don't have enough because the tax was extra. What the hell is that all about, why can't the tax be included in the shelf price like it is in the UK or petrol here?

    One last question, Why is 10c smaller than 5c. That's is not the way my head works and even now sometimes makes me look like a tourist when I try to pay with the right change.
