Bought a beef fillet today, length from my elbow bone to about two inches beyond the tips of my fingers for £25.00.
Haven't weighed it yet but I'm well happy with that.
Just weighed it on the office scales, 1.94 kilos.
Fillet currently £29 per kilo in Tesco. Happy it's come from an independent butcher.

How does one procure such wonders? I downloaded the TGTG app a couple of years ago but nothing was there, sounds like that’s not the case now?

Forum O. G.
Years ago, someone gave me an old electric 'oil' lamp, in bits, as there had been a failed attempt to repair it. Most of the necessary parts were there, except the cable and the actual lampholder itself. I found it again last night, probably after more than ten years.

The body was in four parts, held together by a central threaded tube, which also provides the thread for the lampholder to attach to, with the wire running up the central hole.

Today, I got a new brass unswitched lampholder and found a suitable length of lead. Having established that it had earth continuity through the whole assembly, it is now back in working order. At some point in the future, I will probably replace the plug on the rather short bit of lead with a 'torpedo' switch and then extend the lead away from there to a more practical length - when I decide where it's going. On this sort of lamp, it's often better not to have a switched lampholder, due to the access constraints, anyway.

When I lived in Eccleshall we had some two pin lamp sockets in the lounge which were operated from normal light switches on the wall.

Thinking about it now we had a couple in the hall and in the dining room.
Didn't have any lamps with twisty gold fabric covered flexes though.
