Swedes is wrong, oh dim colonial, even if you're only acting!!. The Mole
wrench was patented and is
manufactured by M.Mole and Sons of somewhere in Wales. A brilliant tool for
squashing lleeks and
aberdaffodills. Also for fine-tuning vocal chords in male voice choirs. (I
shall be going to Wales in a couple of
weeks or so, so if I've offended anyone you can llynch me if you can ffind me!)
