Nominative determinism

 

This is Mr Peter Potter, and as you see, he is a potter.   Even better, he enjoys the occasional bongful of The Devil's Herb.  And he lives above a bar in Potter's Bar.

An excellent example of Nominative determinism.

Not getting that "Ghost" vibe from this potter and his wheel, but that might just be a personal thing.

Spoon-Carving

 

Along with male voice choirs, closed coal mines, and a distrust of vowels, Spoon Carving if something that the Welsh seem to have taken to heart as part of their cultural heritage. For example.

Still, if they can find folk to buy non-dishwasher-proof spoons for £255, then fair play to them.

Bonus - This brought back memories of Repo Man. :-D

The Brushmaker's Art


I suspect that there's not much call for hand-crafted brushes in this modern world. I winder if it's a craft that's died out...

Some info on brushmaking tramps.

Bonus 1 - Fact of the Day - The tenth American President was John Tyler, and he was born in 1790.As of August 2019, two of his Grandsons are still alive.

Bonus 2 - Speaking of POTUSes....Good Lord. Trumpy is getting worse. He accuses protesters of throwing cans of soup at police, as they are "better than a brick because you can’t throw a brick; it’s too heavy. But a can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right?” More info.   Lord Delpus.
