Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

No no! (K wasn't a clue...I was going to pick Tom Karen but jpb would've got me! )

I am M , i developed a machine to replace a hammer and chisel, without it, the Industrial REVOLUTION would have taken place later in history . I started out as a blacksmith , but even Brunel would have been stuffed without me .
