I see they are re making 3" staffordshire blues 

and weathered imperial wire cut 

Lovely, you won`t be able to wall more than five courses at a time with those 

Less if you are making traditional lime mortar in the hope of sticking them together 

though you would think ,the "new old bricks" would be a little more uniform than the 1890 originals
which vary 15mm in length 

So I would say brick technology  ,like cars have  moved on over the years
UNLIKE women ,fighting over petty things

    Both of you should be so ashamed of yourselves making such comments........now I could have a go about MEN, but I'm a lady!

That wouldn't take long, though, you see. Just ensure a suitable supply of beer, petrol and grilled meat products and we're happy. Next?

Before you slag me off, Lizzie, let me tell you what a mature female student of mine once said to me:
"Ron, even women don't understand women, so what chance do YOU stand?" 

Ron.

Yep. I am chairman of a (predominantly male) radio society. Mrs KW is on the committee of a WI branch. It's interesting to compare notes from committee meetings.

For me, a good committee meeting is one where we get together over a beer and decide what we're going to do for the next couple of months and who is going to do it, then have time for more beer.

For her, a good committee meeting is seemingly one where nobody's eyes get scratched out.

That is because we are really in competition with each other, on many complicated levels, that men will never understand because their lives are far more simple in their needs

Yep, as per my last comment to Ron

Is the WI still all 'Jam and Jerusalem' or has it changed?

It only seems simple to you because you don't understand our complexity - oh, how little you know, Lizzie!

Well, they decided to start a WI branch that meets during the evening to attract younger ladies and it worked.. They range in age from mid 20's upwards. Jam and Jerusalem don't seem to feature much, as far as I can tell. Alcohol, on the other hand...

Excellent Dave!

Judging by the style and shape of those bricks are they late 19th century, around 1880?
