Pretentious nobbery

Did he buy it from the same pub he bought his LGV licence?

Shoes count, coming from Northampton I have a weakness for posh shoes, I’m currently sporting a pair of Crocket & Jones suede boots.

Approve Crockett's but suede ? Could be worse, a mate bought a pair of Crockett loafers ffs!

A nice pair pair of oxfords or brogues is surely more appropriate

My best bargain Crocketts were a £30 pair off fleabay. I subsequently saw an identical brand new pair for way north of £400 in Jermyn street.

Sadly I don't seem many £100-£200 2nds on the bay any more, but luckily I have stocked up

All that said, Crockett's really are olovely shoes

Mrs PP, does refer to me as "Imelda" on occasion, which isn't wholly unfair I must confess.

Guy Martin was using a £20k torque wrench on one of his Documentaries when he was building a high spec engine.
Now that’s an expensive tool.

What about the wrench?

A coffee machine modelled on the Sizewell B reactor?

One of these. It's like something from an industrial heritage museum. I put on my engineer's hat and fire it up on special days. It makes perfectly decent coffee.

And continuing my trend for pretentious nobbery I have been stroking my fondness for Stanley gear by ordering a travel mug...

A pizza cutter is handy if you like a pizza the size of a dustbin lid.

We need one for Tesco's finest!.

I got some Naim NacA5 delivered today @ £35 a metre, I know, pretentious nobbing around. But if I had the cash I may well have bought this, £2000, Naim Super Lumina

I've got Linn cable that cost me £10 per meter 25 years ago. It links my Naim Audio amp to my TDL RTL3 speakers.

Moi?

Now I'll have to get roof bars and a rack on my new Chiron. How much are they going to cost?
