On the Indian sub-continent, spare wheels are still known as 'Stepneys', the original company having ceased trading after WW1.

Q. Living and working in Saudi Arabia for 12 years brought me in contact with many different nationalities. One day I was out with one of my Indian colleagues when we had a puncture and he immediately asked if we had a Stepney. Having never heard of the term I finally deduced it to be the spare wheel. It’s a term not used in the UK. Any comments?

A. This odd-sounding term for what we in Britain call a spare wheel or Americans a spare tire is known in some countries of the former British empire and colonies, including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Malta.

I note that the top ad is dated 1907 and that the firm also traded from Berlin.
I wonder how long that arrangement lasted?

Presumably the outboard motor is an optional extra?

Get the radio controlled electric trolling motor so you can run it back and forth along the shoreline for the outdoor funeral.

Pay no attention to the dead workers, look Devil tracks!

In the interest of full disclosure, I watched their AHL affiliate beat the hated Americans 1-0 in OT Saturday night.

I used to work the night shift and saw many odd animals run over on the way home. A lady who fed any cat who was hungry and so had a collection of kittens at any given time. Many fine people would stop and pick a kitten for their child or spouse.

My old cat Bigfoot was getting seedy so I stopped by for 2 kittens and it worked because he started eating again and looked good. I picked an orange one that looked like it never ate and a gray one that it's left eye was clawed by a cat and stuck out from infection. Yup I have always been a sucker for a poor animal.

Upon leaving her house was a mountain lion run over. I went back and got her and we walked down to look at it. This is before phones had cameras. She called the paper for them to come and look at it, but somebody picked the cat up and was gone. The lady said her kittens were disappearing. Now we knew where they were going.

The government says in the paper frequently that there are no big cats here. I beg to differ.

When Hugo hit Charleston in 89 all the cats escaped when trees fell on the fences. Leopards, Panthers, Lions, Tigers, Cougars. Where did they go?
