He's probably gone into hibernation as the temperatures down there are too low to suport a Territorian's daily activities while wearing traditional NT dress (thongs, Stubbies and a blue Chesty Bond).

·Agreed. Here it is for anyone who wants to read it...
On a side note; the problems he adresses is just a little taste of what the third world have endured for centuries. And each time they tried to "take down the sign" it was promptly put ou again by the powerfull nationes of the first world. Like PM Carney said "Collective investments in resilience are cheaper than everyone building their own fortresses" in the future this collective must be broader to include the whole world.

··Never Used A KodakGood to see Standy mentioned on this thread.
In my shop I am surrounded by blades.
And I get more and more requests from people who want something made in Canada.
Standy taught me how to sharpen my blades. And they get a lot of use.
The round knife pictured came from a garage sale. It was so dull. A butter knife was more effective.
Now it’s as sharp as my new one and sits in my portable leather tool kit.
And in my shop I use the ones pictured below. The round one gets the most use. It will cut through three heavy layers like this sheath that I just finished.
Made in Canada. With some help from Standy.
Arkansas stone and yes, old tools made in the USA or England. Blades from Germany.

Dry suit and partner are essential.
But yesterday it was minus 22, so he decided to take his photo from shore.
Regarding the Thames in London England. My wife and I received a wonderful tour on a police boat courtesy of the Metropolitan Police. It was impressive.
