Just realised. It’s Friday night and I haven’t had a drop of wine! Big lunch today so we don’t seem to have bothered with tea so no wine. I might have to break out the cheese and crackers.

My go.

There used to be two items that, throughout the world, used the same screw thread.

Even in America, China, Europe, Japan, Russia and Britain.
