No disputing, those old .303 calibre guys could turn their hands to just about anything, MMS. My old boy (long gone) would get up at 5am and lay a few courses of bricks or paint a wall before he went off to do his day job as an administrator of deceased estates. I lost count of the number of houses he renovated and the times we moved. Every Saturday from the age of ten I would be his right hand man attending the property auctions of the departed - sometimes four in a single day. Must have been to more than a thousand auctions by the age of seventeen, at which time I entered the RE profession with a multinational property developer - and the rest is history. That said, I would have been a .22 still without his kindly and expert guidance. They just don't make men of his calibre any more.
I think sometimes we forget the wisdom of age and the things those old guns taught us: "May they go gentle into the good night," as the poet Dylan Thomas would say.
