But, I do like the tooling used...

Sorry, Ed. Should be SWMBO, "She Who Must Be Obeyed".
I sometimes spell things as they are pronounced, or as I think they are pronounced.

I think it comes from an old Brit TV comedy.
I spent 8 years in Great Britian with the USAF and married an English lass.

the good thing about using that instead of a kitchen mixer is that unlike the kitchen mixer the drill has reverse so if you over mix the brew by mistake you can just select reverse and undo it a bit .

Using a drill to mix reminds me of a few yrs ago when I worked for pilkingtons glass,a swimming pool in middlesbrough had a number of portholes so people could watch swimmers underwater,well one cracked so the pool was emptied for only a limited time only & we had to remove & reglaze them before it was filled back up, well using a 2 part mix polysulphide compound & had to be mixed by hand,so I made a ''mixer'' out of a bent hook bolt using the electric drill in a small storeroom,all went well till the tin slipped from between my feet & the whole bloody lot went flying, all the walls, my mate & me were covered in horizontal stripes,we had to get thinners & clean the walls before it hardened,we mixed by hand after that, btw they were 1" thick plate glass & about 3 ft in diameter [& none of them leaked!!]Smiley-signs107 ps we've lived in yorkshire all our lives & mrs artfull's a farmers daughter from north yorks & a cook & I love her ''yorkshire puddings' fnar fnar we allways have them the traditional yorkshire way ie eat them 1st with gravy then the dinner comes next & if there's any left we eat them with sugar or jam

Looks like something the boys on The Last of the Summer Wine cooked up. Smile Good going doubleboost, now I can show wifey how the money I spend on tools can benefit her too. Thumbsup

Is Rumpole a contraction, leaving out the H between p & o? and isn't it Bailey's as in Irish cream?

Not sure I want SWMBO to have ideas like that about my power tools.

Must admit though the De Walt 12v drill works well ( with green scouring pads) for removing "burnt on mixture" from supposably Non-stick pans that definitely aren't! My reputation as a miracle worker was helped by that trick after an incident where the cake mixture got left too long....

You sometimes don't need to add brandy to flame a Christmas pudding if your wife leaves it too long....
