I always thought 'dop forged'.
I always thought it meant that it was a piece of s
t quality wise.I should also join the originator of this revelation in admitting that I shared exactly his misunderstanding of the term.
I had assumed that they were placed/poured /cast in dies in a molten state and then dropped into oil/water before tempering as a quick and easy way of forming them.
But that superior tools must have been milled or something.
There was a section in that 'How it's made' programme.
It was showing how, after the hammering and cooling, workers
linished off the flash lines from the tools' edges and cleaned
up the edges of the open enders jaws.
In the ring spanners, the 15-degree bend was put in cold
in a press machine. Just before, they milled the 12-pointed
double hexagon. The film went far too quickly to how that bit worked.

Jack Nicholson was 37 before he was informed by Time magazine that his sisters were actually his mother and aunt, and who he thought were his parents were actually his grandparents. His actual mother was 18 and unmarried when she had him, hence the decidedly creepy ruse.
There was a kid at my school who found out exactly this when were in year 10 (maybe 15yo?). The worst part was that he found out from another kid in year 11 who was nobbing the guys ‘sister’ and she let slip that she was actually his mum and had given birth at 15. Poor kid was devastated.

So a 15 yo schoolboy was riding a 30 yo..Fair play to him

There's some interesting stuff on that programme. It was showing how, after the hammering and cooling, workers
linished off the flash lines from the tools' edges and cleaned

Hearing is the fastest human sense; a person can recognise a sound in as little as 0.05 seconds.
For some reason this one doesn't seem to apply to my son.
The male and female brains are wired differently.For some reason this one doesn't seem to apply to my son.
Men are completely focused on the task at hand, be it Fortnite or hunting a Gazelle. They will not hear you if you shout...they are genetically coded to focus.
Women can multi-task for the same reason...caring for children, the fire, cooking, growing corn. What they can do, as a result, is to hear far further than you expect and to remember what they heard, if it was interesting, for ever. If you talk about them quietly in the kitchen whilst they are watching telly in the living room, they will hear and they will remember the conversation for ever.
All of the above came from a lecture to parents at my sons prep school. Subsequent testing with two teenage children, one girl, one boy, validated the propositions.

according to internet search i am the only one with my name in the uk and usa !
When I was in the process of being medically discharged from the Army and going through the admin side the Clerk did a search and there was no one in the Army that shared my surname.When I was struggling to come to terms with leaving and was involved in the Defence Mental health system a search on their system showed I was the only person with my surname in the whole of the British MOD!

we listen to R2 all the time it is pretty much on all the time except for jeremy vine who i can't abide. so michael ball is talking to various guests - the event has been plugged endlessly on the radio for weeks, manics, kylie etc....
1pm rolls round OH says "where is Elaine Paige on sunday?" I'm like FFS have not even been listening? she hears the radio but doesn't "Listen" to it. I can be talking and hear something on the radio and prompt a conversation about it and she is like what? we were talking I wasn't listening to the radio...
