I tried to make up some WMD, but found I couldn't focus on the job in hand, and then I woke up 30 mins later on the garage floor

Now the method has been proved just got to get the other Nivo piston in the aluminum insert jaws of a Record vice about three times the size of mine and apply a little pressure with a 3 ft adjustable spanner
Couldn't have put it better myself Bob - my usual description is a high speed procession!

It's acetone you need - not chloroform!

With chloroform it really will be a WMD and not a WMP!

Once you have the 3ft Stilsons under tension on the eye of the shock, give the end of them a persuasive tap with a 4lb lump hammer - that should sree the sucker! Am i speaking Anglo-faxon? I furely think fo!

Chances are if you asked that question of an American, he didn't know what you were talking about! Example - some new to the UK Americans in the local Co-op - "That's more than a gallon of milk in there" - "No, it's 8 pints" - "But it's heavier than back home".

This went on in various forms arguing over whether it was an 8 pint container of milk or not or whether there was something weird about it as it was heavier and seemed bigger.

Cue yours truly who explained US pints are 16 fl oz and ours are 20 fl oz so it's about 25% bigger and heavier than a US gallon of milk.
Then i explained it was cheaper to buy two half gallons than one whole gallon - friends for life lol!

A trivial example but if there measurement are different to ours then a 12-tonne press might be nothing more than a 6" vice that can exert 12-tonnes of clamping pressure. Bearing in mind a "vise" often refers to a "Vise-grip" that we know better as Mole Grips...........
