Checking the proof marks, besides the wooden clogs and windmills, there was a Brittish Flag, and a foot note about... this gun is "The Bees Knees"... and "Bobs your uncle"...

So reading what that means below... I guess I'm good.. :-)

-------------------------------
(From Brittish Slang Guide)...
Bees Knees - This is the polite version of the dog's bollocks. So if you are in polite company and want to say that something was fabulous, this phrase might come in handy.

Bob's your uncle - This is a well used phrase. It is added to the end of sentences a bit like and that's it! For example if you are telling someone how to make that fabulous banoffee pie you just served them, you would tell them to boil the condensed milk for three hours, spread it onto a basic cheesecake base, slice bananas on top, add some whipped double cream, another layer of banana and Bob's your uncle!

One More...
Dog's bollocks - You would say that something really fantastic was the dog's bollocks. Comes from the fact that a dog's bollocks are so fantastic that he can't stop licking them! Nice huh?



Oh. and thanks for your comments, much appreciated..
