To this day one of my pals who is a carpenter calls screws ‘rotary nails’ and says screwdrivers were invented to dig them out with 🤣.

Colin I'm glad someone else does this. I often start a screwnail with a couple of taps of a hammer to make sure it is going in the right place. Also, you can never have too many clamps!

Yeah, a London screwdriver is usually a large 'waisted' screwdriver. I'll forgive those north of the border for getting confused
