It is no coincidence that we love to watch "Junkyard Wars."

Ah, yes, but that is a spinoff of an original British TV show called "Scrapheap Challenge." It's presented by Cathy Rogers and Kryten from Red Dwarf.

Grin! I'll take "bodge" as "tinker," or the like, eh?
I'll confess that much of what I know about British culture came from a big stack of collected "Giles" cartoons from the London Daily Express. My God, what a great political cartoonist! His "family" was completely delightful! And, sure enough, his "family" had a workshop with a lot of household tools! The love of tools is probably a common heritage affair, going back before the Revolutionary War...
Which means, quite simply... Thanks!
