Oh mister Zou shame on you. That’s the equivalent of a one night stand when it comes to poking. A good, well maintained poker should keep going for a lifetime. Those victorians knew how to poke!

They need a nice ivory handle though ..........

I’d get lynched by the waitrose mob if I went in there asking for toothpicks with ivory handles @Crewella .

But I won’t be throwing my Victorian lady spike away after every use hence saving the planet even more, upcycling unwanted goods, gaining favour with ladies wot lunch and also contributing to the economy of our new president @Crewella

Indeed you would. We had a bloke standing outside with a placard about banning the ivory trade last month!

Thing is, I'm all for stopping it (it's my job to chase the CITES certificates for things) ............ except that all this stuff exists, was made years ago and what should we do with it? I'd rather use it than burn it.

Actually - there might be a few about as we can no longer sell a lot of ivory items and a lot of them (including mine) have ivory handles. I rescued mine from the dump pile originally. Might take a couple of months, but I will keep my eyes peeled for you peeps.

Yes!!! +1

A sharpened paperclip is my weapon of choice.
The wooden toothpick ends break.

One good thing came out of me smashing my Spica glass - it forced me to get to grips with the misbehaving Helix kit. Which is now working perfectly. I do still miss the chimney mechanism on the big one, but it's fine.
