Ah, the big ol' Atlantic; just like our common language,
how it does divide us.

I try to suppress my envy at residents of the big ol' U S of A,
and their endless supplies of pre 1900 Stanleys, Disston saws,
beautiful and ingenious Millers Falls (both drills and planes),
and £1 Arkansas stones.

So please, guys, don't begrudge us poor UK'ians
the odd Norris, Preston or Coticule :-)
