      One of the REME mechanics that I knocked about with, we were motorbike mad, in Berlin used to go to the American px where they had huge washing machines, buy a box of omo and wash everything together, everything! jeans, shirts, underwear, socks, army uniform and overalls and towels, have you ever seen a mechanics overalls that has worked in the bowels of a chieftan tank? not a pretty sight.

      Then everything into a huge tumble drier, it always made a good night out sitting chatting to American servicemen and women in their bar.

      His clean clothes had an overall dark greyish tinge and a hint of diesel. We never waited to see what the next user thought of their wash.

      I wear overalls in the 'shed' and wash them when the missus isn't at home and must admit that a masonry nail can cause havoc with the internals, thank goodness for service contracts.

        .

        Perhaps this is a new opportunity for Keatan at ARC to fill a hole in the market for vital workshop equipment.

            I used to wear dust coats until my cuff was caught by a milling cutter pulling my arm into the machine. I have now sorted the heating in my workshop and wear a denim apron and bare arms!
