steve v, thanks for the link. I’m tempted to order a print of that. 25 quid for an ~ 11 x 14.
Of course the lack of even minimal PPE is appalling, but that was pretty standard for the ’40s.

Harald, please don’t change. I really did admire your optimism, misplaced as it was.
PieterB, you can change any time you want.

On Facebook second hand. I don’t know the primary source.
Seems to be ebay.
Sexy riveter Halloween costume, I presume.
Darn it, I did that wrong. Let me try again.
Thanks for the delete, Ms. Benson. The costume is appalling.
It’s so nice to see optimistic people like Harald, desperately hoping it’s satire.
Try Ruby instead.

The problem is the lack of approved safety footwear right?
Ugh, “Adult Riveting Darling Costume”?
Clamboy #5, I stand horribly corrected.
