sharpening the knives

not sure whether they're made to tolerate sharpening any more - i got a pair of Wilkinson's shears sharpened at one of the local garden centres (one of those now gone to make way for developers!) and they just snapped soon after. if you're suggesting that "proper British Sheffield made shears" are exempt from planned obsolescence, i very much doubt it!

There comes a time for all knives when sharpening is no longer enough and they need a good grinding*.


There was a bloke in a van who dropped leaflets off and collected, ground and returned knives, shears etc. - maybe someone has his no.




*I know! Absolutely no 'Carry-On' pun or phnarr in sight. I think I have election** fatigue.

    • Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂 
    • I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found.  Not sure if all would consider that a good thing.  Not a lot new happening ....  When you back in Blighty?
    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
