I too respect a well honed craftsman who is exceptionally good at his job.
But say he was a crass dry-stone waller - I wouldn't listen to his theories about talking stones, stone spirits, kobolds and elves any more than you would - because doing his job well is one thing and folklore is another.
I hope you finally get the point.

Now I have to go - I am a junior in a machinists shop and they have asked me to go and get a spare bubble for the spirit level and a packet of elbow grease. I don't know, these old duffers'll lose anything...
As always Neil,I very Rarely understand what you are talking about,have a nice day
