Ha, you noticed that. It's actually a little pun, which covers two major periods of my life. When I first heard the expression I thought what you did.
Like probably quite a few people on here I've been involved with Lee Enfields in the past. Remember the MkIV, a beautiful piece of engineering from the time when PCs didn't exist, and Britons made a living using blast furnaces and lathes ?
But at the other end of the technology scale it's also a reference to the first Fatboy Slim track, Linky here .....
