Andy reminded me: How come when I repeatedly mention how I'd love a big
Skarsten scraper for Christmas no-one in my family ever takes the hint?

Skarsten don't do big scrapers. Sandvik do _big_ scrapers.

Friend of mine has a panelled room (sloped ceilings too) in a building
which was allegedly built as a dairy. But it's either a Welsh
priest-hole or else it was built by someone who normally did Chapels
(and very finely he built it too). Now scraping the flat surfaces of
that really was hard going - tried everything on it he did. In the end
he got very attached to one particular top-end model of Sandvik scraper.
