Find The Fault No 11
Apart from reminding me of that old joke that ends with a newspaper headline "Nut Screws Washers & Bolts", there's not a lot I can say about this. Although I'm slightly bothered by the name on the spanner- "Vanadium". What's that? Sounds like a cream you put on if you've got spots.

Chrome vanadium is a common label on spanners, but nuts are usually hexagonal.
Well done Vincent. Blimey you're up early. The card says 'Nut should have Six sides not Seven'. And thanks for the note on Vanadium.
Yes. Well spotted. I thought it may have been the curved shape to the inside of the spanner. These normally replicate the shape of the nut. Good timing Peter as 'Nuts in May' was always a favourite TV play of mine. directed by Mike Leigh in 1976.
Cor, Toby, one of my favourites too. Now out on DVD I hear. It's also memorable for being the first time many of us saw Timothy Spall in action as the biker.
Ah, a heptagon. They didn't used to grow on trees, until the 50 pence piece came along.
Isn't the lockwasher also of the wrong handedness? It will prevent the nut being tightened, but not prevent it loosening...
