Whales Win a Chew backflash

Has anyone come across this incarnation of a Whales 'Win a Chew' before? I'd love to see an image as guidance before I begin the jigsaw puzzle. I've seen the one with the leprechaun below win / lose gallery, but not this version. A testament to 20 years of sunlight on a Whales backflash. https://www...

Re: Shortages having a knock on effect for us?

I'm glad I saw this post about Allan at Amicus. Just given me a very reasonable price for a drop off to here in wildest North Norfolk. £40 cheaper than a bloke who lives a few miles up the road. Useful contact.

Re: Media blast set up for home use

I agree with Paul, I bought a Millar soda blasting setup and built a cabinet but it still created so much dust in the workshop I gave it up in the end. As mentioned above you need a lot of compressor power and the flow of baking soda can be a little problematic (clogging etc). I'm sure if you have a...

Re: Spot the damaged word ......

Walze translates as 'roller', 'drum' or 'cylinder'?

Re: Tuck Shop

Tuck shop was my absolute favourite as a kid on holiday in GT Yarmouth. It's no wonder I have so many fillings.

Re: R&W Win a Packet of Polos backflash

If there had been one, it would probably have been ripped off and listed on eBay by now, so probably not unfortunately.

These Black Cats have had their building tarted up a bit since I did a stint with Brown and Root there decades ago. The old Carreras factory.

I've done the topflash on your machine but not the backflash. Have a look at a few others I have done www.endofthepier....
