10mm socket strangely elusive

Anyone with the most basic mechanical experience will know that 10 millimetre sockets and spanners are the ones that you can never find when you need them. They are treacherous little things that turn up when you don't expect them. They cannot be trusted.

You will mostly find me improving UK emergency service & NHS articles.

I dabble in railway articles but I am not a trainspotter. Ditto car and motorcycle articles.

I also do a bit of vandal patrolling, especially around newly registered users who have a conflict of interest / are only here to spam Wikipedia.

I come from North East England and have a home in South West England.

Things I loathe

No wanksocks sockpuppets

No spam

1. I loathe original research with a passion - it goes right against the grain of what Wikipedia stands for. I will do everything I can to remove OR, especially in examples like the UK fire services articles below where it simply attracts low level wiki-fiddling as people make changes to reflect their personal knowledge - thus a bad section of content (not typically the whole article) gets worse and worse over time.
2. More recently I have developed a loathing for wanksocks sockpuppets and sockpuppetry.
3. Conflict of interest / paid editors.
