[Iliad]

Thanks heaps guys, I was not sure if my little item was worth posting on the Ethno site, as it seemed to be too trivial for the experts to look at. I was expecting to be embarrassed by the responses!
I probably won't replace the handle as suggested, as I am not a handyman, hopeless with tools, can barely replace a lightbulb without assistance! I am a retired Accountant and have spent a lifetime behind a desk.
I will keep the item as a means of repelling intruders.............although if I did use it in this way, the Police would arrest me (easy way of gaining points towards promotion) and give the intruder kisses and cuddles.
Thanks again guys,
Brian
