I have never taken the piss out of your past as a noble executioner of the practical arts, Herbs. And I'll have you know that I used to do my own repairs on my guitars and amps back in the day so ner.

Eventually though, I decided that work is best done by a specialist, and having saved far more money by not having kids than I ever could by not having to spend a few bob now and again on hiring some help I'm not too worried about the dosh. It's the inconvenience that bothers me.
