A 'snippet' of information

[dontheturner]

My Late Mother, Florence Stone, was aged 16 at the outset of WW1, and had trained as a Printing Machine Minder, and worked at the Typhoo Tea Factory, which was located in Needless Alley, - about where the Fish Restaurant now is. The Factory, may have been the first in the UK, to give all staff, a mid morning tea break.

Well Mau. I was until a month ago, and suddenly had that feeling - I wanna go 'ome . So sold the lot, Mortisers, Pillar drillers, Dovetailer, loads of wood, and one Woodturning Lathe, two Bandsaws, and two smaller Automatic Micro Lathes - I was making Garden benches, Corner Cupboards, Coffeee tables, and loads of pens. Everybody loved 'em, but, nobody's got any cash. So, gave the big items to family, and bringing the pens home, for a boot sale?

Unless we can do a deal??? You into turning? regards Don
