Yes, being resourceful in our hobby not only makes our dollars and pounds go further, it also gives us a sense of accomplishment and pride during the building process and after.

Right, I wasn't thinking of actual doctors, sorry. I know all about those, I've had plenty shoved in my lug-holes during my lifetime! Next time, I'll ask if there's any used ones going spare.

That's naughty. I don't think swiping stuff from our NHS will go down too well, anyway, there's no point in pinching them, they're single use only, so just ask for the dirty ones.
