Ah, I glossed over the non-British qualifier. My apologies. A side story… I was being the idiot American tourist at Windsor Castle and the docent was showing me how the ceiling was decorated with the coats of arms of various knights, and I asked which one was Paul McCartney’s. He very patiently explained to me that these were only for military honors. I felt six kinds of stupid that afternoon :)
Tinkertoys were my jam.
