It’s on my family’s cost of arms, hasn’t done us any harm.

Well, a bit, but not much.
Our cost of arms features crossed rifles superimposed on a dollar sign.

Really?
I would have thought crossed prosthetics with a NHS card background would have been more appropriate.

As we’re sharing, here’s my Warstaffer 427 (Longhandle 1975 version) and my Beuchamps DeFlurgen Warbler (silly name but a lovely short handle delicate construction) with my first ever Brasso tin supplied after my 1993 European championship win.



FYI, the spoon in the beans is a tablespoon, horribly oversized junk that my wife insists on using rolleyes
Bit of alright that. Is the Beauchamps as skittish as they say? Liable to swap ends and practically jump in the mug with uncareful handling?

It takes an awful lot of practice to handle it well, I’ve seen a man lose an eye by underestimating the swirl return angle, it’s not for an amateur!

that Warstaffer's a real old-school, hairy-chested, 70s spoon

I can smell the Brut from here

great stuff!

Yes, it's almost tangible!



And with that spoon you can just splash it on everything! wink

I'll just leave this here

Probably more suited to those of you with a larger collection

Brave, brave…perhaps some of the most widely faked of all.

Matching numbers and paperwork? You really can’t be too careful.

Popped into Robert Dyas this lunchtime. Since they became headline sponsors of the 2019 Edinburgh Classic they've really upped their promotion of our sport in-store.

Obviously, you're all aware of the new "Spoonista Aisles" which were introduced back in August. So, I won't post any pictures relating to that.

Instead, here's a shot of the starter kit which is being displayed at all of the check out tills. A selection of Walberswick's finest starter spoons. Perfect for the kids.

Bravo Robert Dyas.

I don't mean to question your shopping habits Blib but why on gods earth are you frequenting a shop that sells ' Tea Spoons' when everyone knows it's ' Teaspoons' . It's starting the kids of on a very rocky road to rack and ruin i tells ye.

Just in time for Christmas too. All the kids will be wanting them I bet, it'll be like this year's Pokemon.

I give up!.

Just about to pay the man and he put the spoons through an industrial shredder, showed me the mangled remains and tried get me to pay double the agreed price.

Said it was art.

That's a convenient end to a story that doesn't at all scream attention seeking, a nice way to provide no real evidence of this 'find.... This country...

Fakes, the lot of them. Note the use of "6 Pack" on the labelling when the genuine article will have "Six Pack" written. Not unlike my Rolex Oyter.

...and even if all seems good, the customs officials will have them. As bent as a DeFleus "Challette" the lot of them.

This won't end well.

You can't polish custard.
But you can roll it in glitter ...

However it will taste horrible and nothing short of a Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke Teeschaufel XL is likely to stir it so probably best not to
