The description of the hideous
boy and girl of the Ghost of Christmas Present

"Spirit! are they yours?"

"They are Man's
This boy is Ignorance, the girl is Want.
Beware them both......but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is doom ..."

A warning to us all

That's how I started off in the drawing office in the 1960's

Then came metrification
And dimensioning drawings got a whole lot simpler!

I just bought my great-nephew an Airfix Harrier set and am giving it to him this afternoon on his 7th birthday
I'm desperately hoping for a call next week asking if I can come over and help him.
