I have already been to work and back, after a quick breakfast.
I will go to meet Sue at her work in a little while.This afternoon we have to take Mum to an appointment, that clashes a bit with my work, but we'll have to go with it and see. Might be working a bit later today.
In between we might get to do more clearing out.
I might also make some phone calls. Oh well. -

The plastic screw thread on the end of the wooden handle snapped off inside the plastic socket on the broom head.Anyone else would have binned the broom, and I guess that is what the designers and suppliers want.
I repaired it instead.I remember the days when the wooden handle just went into a hole in the broom head and was held by a screw or a nail.
Or for a heavy duty broom, a metal socket was used. None of this crappy plastic nonsense. -

At least one model had a plastic end with matching threads on the tool-end of the handle.
It is sad that current expectations are to discard broken tools in lieu of fixing them.

Yes, I have had brooks with wooden threads to screw into the broom head.
They just worked.
