Old Adolf didn't invade for the simple reason he'd heard about my granny and her temper. I could see her marching down to the invasion beach and battering them with the old flat iron and cast iron skillet. Half a dozen like her would have taken Berlin in a week Big smile.

Have seen that rifle before, Think it was in Skennerton's "The British Service Lee"
Bet it kicked with that little narrow steel butt-stock!  Nasty!
