Was it how much the three-penny- bits jiggled when the Rolls drove over bumps?

No, it was that a threpenny-bit could be sat on the rocker-box of a roller and not be shaken off it by the engine imbalances.Was it how much the three-penny- bits jiggled when the Rolls drove over bumps?

Had my shower earlier… door handle was shaking as though someone was trying to get in.
Then I remembered the flip flop drivers are about at the services I stopped at. Things they do for a free shower

You're okay, I've just got out of the bath so that will do for both of us. Have a good night's sleep.

Threpennybits can never be called boring and should be an honour and a privilege to carry about
