Gentlemen, continuing the diesel theme I'd like to introduce you to Mark Croucher who puts up a number of videos on YouTube showing people how to build models. He is building a Keil Kraft Ladybird which will be powered by a small diesel engine. In this video he deals with using templates to cut out parts from plywood.

If you watch it you'll be introduced to the "Geordie Accent." The Geordies come from Newcastle Upon Tyne or the towns and villages surrounding the city. Geordie is a corruption of the word "George" and it is said that the inhabitants of Newcastle gained their nickname because they supported King George I against the rebels of Bonny Prince Charlie's Army in 1745. They have the reputation of being very friendly people, indeed, I've never met a nasty Geordie.

Going on what is written on his pencil I'd say that Mark is a retired teacher.
