Re: Same broom for 20 years eh..
"Several variants are known, including the grandfather's axe, which has had both head and handle replaced."
A Dixon of Dock Green episode had that too. He talked about the pipe that his late wife had given him many years earlier - which had had several replacement bowls and stems. My memory suggests it was at the end of an episode and he was talking to his future? son-in-law Andy.
Isn't memory wonderful - that has probably been dormant for at nigh on 50 years from one viewing.
Evenin' all.
