More usually known as a six-pounder, and it's definitely not a mortar round.

So I suppose you could say .... Nah! You can make up your own jokes around pounding etc. :lol:

Thank goodness for the NHS. Going private, that would have been a lot to shell out.

My 70 year old General Surgical Textbook ( ‘Bailey and Love’) describes removing foreign bodies from the rectum using Obstetric forceps ; the example given being a large pepper pot marked ‘a present from Margate’. :lol:

Funny how these things stick in the memory

Exactly. It could have been worse. The mortar rounds they used to fill at my former employer were 81mm.

Even more of a stretch. :wink:

When my son joined the police he left his mobile on the desk where he was interviewing a client. As he left the interview room he went to pick up his phone-gawn. Yes you"re already there.
It was recovered but due to its previous home-he never used it again.
