A good tradesman doesn't rest on his laurels'.

Shivers, I think you should change your signature line. This is inappropriate and far from professional.
 
I thought that had been covered before--yes i do recognize that its not a new term,i have a problem when its used on a very large table,as the image of the expression hardly fits the physical appearance ,Ie--a refectory tabletop hardly looks like a breadboard does it, maybe our recent posts have been misinterpretations .

not sure if thats misplaced--but i dont want to start up another thread on it--grin.

i had a discussion with others on this a few weeks ago --apparently the use of the apostrophe is also open to debate,the disscussion was about the use of english,i sat back as obviously im not an english grammer major(which has been pointed out more than once lol).

apparently even the english teachers cant get it right these days.

At the moment I'm wondering what laurels possess that a good tradesman doesn't want to rest on. They're not particularly spiky are they? :-k

Cheers, Alf

That'll be another fine mess you've got yourself into then, Shivers...? :wink:

you're a sharp one,yep it happens to the best of us.
It's a matter of fitting in with a clique or not,i know where i am.
Peer pressure is so hard these days.
 
I think Alf is deliberatley being goaded to speed up postings, I don't like it and if it doesn't stop I'll start stirring up the whole cleated,breadboard,thingamijig.

Did I not mention how much I was going to enjoy playing merry hell with my average post count? Oh dear, silly me... Let's see, in the last few days: 11, 13, 12, 13, 14. Time to go very quiet yet, d'you think? :twisted:
 
Having dropped into this thread late through a redirection from over at the General forum, I just thought I'd mention that 'breadboard' ends, the American nomenclature that's causing all the stooshie here and 'cleated' ends are also known as clamping or clamped ends.

Just thought I'd mention it as I don't think anyone else has thought to do so. My source is Hayward, C (1970) Antique or Fake. I think he's been mentioned once or twice before in this thread. Slainte.
