Ay up!

S'OK - a large paving slab has had the same effect :twisted: . The wallet is now in my pocket, semi-conscious.

However, I'm now in trouble with Mrs BB 'cos there's a large dent in the borders! It'll grow back. I hope.

You're a braver man than I, keeping that wallet in your trouser pocket!

Or - talking of putting your troubles behind you...

May I ask if you have a LMS Beyer Garratt on pre-order?

I really would like to know some time in advance, so I can arrange to take a holiday to Antarctica when the model release date is near. I imagine that the seismic activity from the wallet will bring Europe to a standstill.

Hi SS

I don't know about the seismic activity, but I bet there'll be a hell of a big bill run up on the NHS!!!

Steady on, Micky. It's only out on parole from doing time for GBH on those who went near it.

I don't have a Garratt on order so relax. As for the round, its still stunned from the paving slab so should be OK.

I still have that slab and I'm resisting all attempts to junk it. My wallet has never been so calm. Not that it lives in my trouser pocket. No true Yorkshireman ever puts his wallet in his trouser pocket - he'd rather have a ferret in there :shock: . If a ferret goes wild, it'll do less damage, beleive me!

My wallet never shreds fivers. It just snaps at fingers when you try to remove them.

Just had one serious fight with it in a car spares shop. It refused to let me get me tenners out! :shock:

Thankfully the shop stocked large hammers so stunning was possible! :lol:

I thought this thread was about wallets not about what happens when you let your new pup loose.
Or did you post it in the wrong thread?

you'll find it in the right place Bryan as my regard to the canine variety is that they are dirty pavement fouling creature's that fail to tidy up after themselfs.
Any way dogs should not play with Bryant and May.
