Not only has surgery changed dramatically in 30 years but also intensive care and anaesthetics.

My office went from this

had mine done under general anesthetic (yes I know wimp) later the stitches went septic Big Cry
Anyway I had to go into work with a further sick note, in the canteen chatting with the lads and my young son (who was about 3 or 4 years old) tried to get my attention without success. He then punched me in the balls - I woke up some time later Censored Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

anyway,back to wd 40!.the problem with wd 40 is it will attract dust.we used to lub steering locks on new cars if they became stiff,but 3 months later they would become stiff again,so we sent the locks back under warranty,the warranty was declined every time because of wd40
