Hi,
Very good point Tony about avoiding asbestos as inhaling only a small amount of asbestos dust can turn into a killer in later years like a waiting time bomb just needing a trigger?
When I was much much younger it was common in those days to smash asbestos garages up with a big hammer totally unaware of the dangers and carting the lumps off to the tip. Fortunately so far it hasn't harmed me and I've also worked underground and even worked in a rather nasty chemical plant; strange though how some people suffer only very minor exposure to certain things to be badly affected in later years when it becomes lethal without any warning signs. I've also blown out lots of brake dust from brake drums of old cars which might have included asbestos; I can still taste the stuff as I can the nitro benzine plant I used to work in. Some things are never forgotten?
Tomorrow is another day full of joy and hope; I'm having a short trip out to inspect a lathe with view to possibly buying; I love plenty of toys and I'll not be moaning for a couple of hours in the morning?
Kind regards, Col.
