Hello from Yorkshire, UK
on: October 29, 2013, 07:13:28 PM
Hello everyone!

I've been finding some very interesting and useful posts on this forum so I thought it was time to jump in and introduce myself.  My multitool journey started out with a Vic Climber many years ago, then about a decade later I discovered Leatherman, so about a dozen Vics and five Leathermans later the rest is history!  The latest addition is an Explorer with green scales, which I had to get because I really love that little magnifying glass/microscope.   :D

Welcome to the forum Spatha.  Lots of other Brits here, even a couple of other Yorkshiremen.  In fact I was just down your way last weekend, having a few beers at Keighley's beer festival. :tu:

Those green scales are lovely aren't they?  Not so easy to find these days either.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

I must confess that I'm not really a Yorkshireman.  I've lived up here a fair few years but my roots are down south in Essex.  The ale is good here though!  The Timothy Taylor brewery is in Keighley and the Landlord bitter they make is one of my favourite beers.  :cheers:

When I first came across MTO I didn't join because I thought it would be too US centric. Eventually I joined and as it turns out Grant is Canadian and Brits are a pretty serious minority.

Anyway, welcome. I don't know much of Yorkshire, it's just the place I whiz by as I'm going further up north.
