Yeah, yeah.

It's a tool from my dad.

And that tool is called a gimlet.

And do you know what?

Have you heard that before?

I think there is a gimlet cocktail.

I think you're right.

Yes.

So what you do with this is that you use it to push into the wall where you're going to put a screw.

So you put it between your fingers like this, the wooden handle inside your palm.

You close your fist and you push really hard and you will gradually create a guide hole for your screw.

And what's interesting about this tool, it's slightly broken.

But my dad died in 2018.

And when we had our conversation, me and my brother and sister, about what is there anything we want from dad's possessions, I said, look, there's only one thing I really want, which is the toolbox.

Because to me, that big, red, messy toolbox, which is full of so many things, was all about what dads did back in the day, which was to show their sons and daughters how things work and take the top off things and fix them and screw them in.

He died and this thing has passed.

It's gone, this repairing.

The plugs are sealed.

No one can change a light fitting anymore.

They don't.
