Thresther
Had a problem last Friday, my thresher broke, went to Homebase, didn't have a clue what I was after, suggested Screwft, tried them, and after 20 mins one searching the computer, the other seaching their catalogue, they couldn't help either, so I promised them when I got a new one, I would use the old one as a suposistry on the pair of them. Went round to Whewells, no they hadn't had any for 5 years, tried Jewsons, same story they'd never heard of them, try thowd chap in timber store, he knew what I wass after, but they had none.
Came home, and after as search on the net, finally found what I was after. Stormguard Rain Drips & Door Seals @ JAS Hardware Suppliers Blackburn Lancashire North-West UK. / JAS Timber / Timber Doors Windows Stairs Pine Furniture Kitchens Blackburn Lancashire UK Got one today, paid a visit to Screwfit on my way back, they don't like it upem. Retlaw. |

Its a while since I heard one called that.
They probably thought you were looking for agricultural machinery.:D |
Re: Thresther
Better known now as Door Sills but they still should have understood what you meant.:rolleyes:
Have you put fresh straw down for Christmas?:D:D |

Re: Thresther
Never heard the word except in connection with agriculture. Should it be thrreshold? Screwfix have a lot of those on their website. From the website you posted Walter it looks like what you wanted is called a rain deflector.

Lots of things have changed over the years, dust bin chaps are now called Refuse Disposal Officers, but they still empty dustbins, only they now call them wheely bins. Retlaw |
Re: Thresther
Definately thresher, I imagine it's a corruption of the threshold which was used to keep the straw on the floor in houses in days past.

Re: Thresther

I meant it sounds like a local word but it obviously isn't. But it's not in my Chambers Dictionary. |
