[news]

please contact me if you have this tool

Yes, I do. I have several in fact.

I have quite a few, both straight and cross-point. You can buy them in sets at tool stores.

The nearest shed or ironmonger will have them. They live in little clear fronted blue plastic rectangular boxes. Prices vary on where you buy them.

On the subject, anyone know where to get sets of just cross head ones, I buy one or two sets a year, the tips of the cross heads always end up snapping off or being eroded away, so I have a growing collection of flat blades.

Bet you never expected so many responses!

Maplin do a set of 5. (Or used to anyway)

[Bob Eager]

You can buy them in the market in Canterbury High Street. Or in Alca Tools in Herne Bay.

[Bob Eager]

I bought some from CPC...

[Andy Hall]

How do you arrive at that conclusion, Bob?

Perhaps you should have given directions from a convenient pub.

Of course, the poster could be University of Kent /staff/.

The email address. I work there, you see...!

And the tool shop is just down the road from me...

Do they have a psychology department? The original message seems a little strange and I wondered if it was posted to see the reaction rather than be a serious question.

[Bob Eager]

Yes...

Doesn't seem particularly strange to me...!

The ecxellent command of English, clarity of the request, and the polished courtesy with which it was made.

And a clue in the header....

[Bob Eager]

Nope..email addresses have a different format...!

[Bob Eager]

Actually, several clues...I can also recognise the IP address. The University of Kent have an unusually large IP block - 129.12/16 ...

[Peter Stockdale]

Why do you want a jewelers screwdriver ? Pete

[Andy Hall]

Unusually large? That's outrageous :-)

Haven't the RIPE police asked about it?

[Bob Eager]

Prior possession, probably...we've had the block since we started on the Internet - circa 1982.
