I don't even iron my shirts.

About the only thing I do iron is pocket handkerchiefs.

That's something I can't remember ever owning, well not since Kleenex came onto the market.

There was no suggestion that the moves to China were anything to do with quality. There is some pretty shoddy stuff coming out of China as well as good stuff.

Bachmann's bog standard Chinese built QJ was £180 so not far off £200. Anyway this is deviating from the statement that Hornby where somewhat inferior to Bachmann because Bachmann moved their production to China first.

It helps stop the loose change from jingling in my pocket.

Yes, but it can be bought for £40 from most places.

its a substitute weapon when she cant find the rolling pin or is feeling very emotional (often calendar related).

With both Hornby and Bachmann quality has improved significantly since production moved to China. There was some pretty shoddy stuff coming out of Margate and Hong Kong before the switch.

It's what housekeepers leave behind when they die.
