Default UK DIYers clueless about tools

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember PeterC
saying something like:

A "slotted screwdriver" sounds like a rare beast.

I have one, in common with lots of other people.


I'll bet you don't.


I do - a screwdriver with a slot cut in it for doing up spokes, so that the
nipple can be screwed down past the end of the spoke.


I'll bet it isn't.
