Ok Bruce. The verdict is not guilty!

Bruce, I took note of the smart welded washer. Good one!

I think the Yorkshire prodler is basically a small podger used for more delicate jobs.
This thread could have come from the excellent book by R T Nicholson on the Austin Seven. I am sure he warns somewhere of the dangers of dickering with a podger, especially doing it at the scullery sink when the little woman is out!

Used to be a pub in Garforth called 'The Podger' that had a picture of a large spanner with a pointy end (ie: a Podger) on the pub sign outside. Pub's still there but it's now called something that more people understand!!

Seems the pub's got its old name back although not its old sign

You could always hang out at the John Thomas instead!

Used podgers for lining up bolt holes when building Harvestore silos in Australia - essential equipment.

No, it's a podger. Using one does not denote a bodge.

A tool and name I found out about from my paternal Grandfather (who used to sell and maintain De Dions among others in Chard)

Malcolm, John Thomas changed back to its original name of Bell Hagg and not Bell ..d!
This website is much more polite than Facebook fortunately.

The Bell Hagg Inn was a favourite of my wife and I, before she was Mrs P and when we were still youngsters.
