Saw this on a Mills Poinsettia on Ebay at the moment:
Absolutely beautiful! Firstly I must state that this machine was manufactured as a "game of skill" ...notice the three reel stops on the top of the case. This was to overcome gaming regulations in the 1920s, so no license required here.

What about the below pusher on eBay at the moment, interesting description
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moonraker-pen ... Sw5cNYmZ~G
This machine has been in a DAMP Garage for Many Many years
If you look at the pictures carefully, you can see the wood is about a Centimeter thicker than the T-Molding, which gives you an idea of just how bad this is, there are big chunks missing out of the wood at the bottom
The chipboard has swollen with all of water it's soaked up and is Totally Rotten beyond repair and only good for scrap
It doesn't work at all
It's massive and very heavy and you will need a Tail Lift van to take it too the tip because I havent been honest and put this in the original listing, because I want more money. I make it sound like it just needs a clean and you will have a lovely pusher machine, but in reality its just a pile of bits that will probably fall apart when you move it
I like to waist peoples time letting them bid on my item only to end it on my friends highest bid so I don't have to sell it cheap and ebay let me do this to avoid paying reserve fees and now i just cancel the transaction to my friend and it doesn't cost me anything
But its still for sale

It's not only spelling that suffers it's also grammar.
Too many think grammar isn't important and pass it off as "posh talk".
However knowing your grammar is the difference between .........
Knowing your shit.

Im re reading Bill Brysons book on the english language which is full of interesting facts about the development of our grammar, but what struck me most was to hear that there are more people in china learning english than there are people living in the USA,a pity some of those in the usa dont learn as well. (Of course not you John, you talk good like wot i do)

It doesn't help that our new President speaks like English is his second language. Prime Minister Trudeau's visit this week was a sad reminder what a neanderthal we have at the top. And that's not even considering what he says. Sad, so sad.
