Implements

I grew where you called a spade a spade
Okay sometimes it may have been a shovel a diamond club or heart
But a spade is and was called a spade

And now for some context.

But I could be wrong.

Guess you're talking about all the completely off topic comments in a few threads and the unneeded back and forth between a few posters.
To get back on topic where I grew up a Spade rounded down to a point while a shovel had a square straight end.

Spades are used for cutting into soil in gardening, a shovel is used for clearing spoil/rubble/sand on work sites .

Garden spades back in Scotland were square but slightly curved with a straight edge for cutting sod. Builders shovels back in Scotland were more curved so they held more material and had a rounded leading edge.

Seems you are wrong about a cryptic protest on the rash of deleted post
The map does what it does no problem here
and is more what is is
yellow and blue make green but neither is

Thanks for clarifying that

Read together with your OP, everything is now a lot clearer.......

A nice cheese cutter (the hand held one with a wire & roller) would be a nice implement to have, unfortunately when I left UK 20 yrs ago I didn't realise that getting such a common two quid item would be so difficult

Same experience. On my first visit back to the States I picked one up. I use it two or three times a week and it's adjustable for thicker or thinner slices. Would be lost without it. Wire leader material I use for making fishing leads works perfectly as replacement wire on the slicer.

Never seen a cheese cutter like that before. I just looked on lazada and they have them so l will order one.

Thanks guys ...... didn't even cross dumbo here's mind to look "on line" for one ........ fraid I'm still of the pencil & paper shopping list era I suppose

I have a small board with a wire cutter attached , left the UK with it, still use it , but not so much now as Cheese was expensive but is now coming down in price, might be tempted to buy larger chunks
