Not offended in the slightest. And yes I would agree with you entirely. I just wasn't too sure how well others might be known outside of the Midlands.
Personally I like a drop of Old Pec!

OK then if you are not keen on Maths as modellers you might find technical drawings a bit more interesting. Have a look at the attached. It shows a sketch, not to scale, of the front elevation and the side elevation of a solid object.

All you have to do is draw the plan in the space below the front elevation. ....and in case you were wondering, when I was shown this as a very young engineer many years ago I eventually worked it out for myself. (It took a couple of days though!)

Obviously if you know the answer please do not spoil it for others who might want to try it.

Make sure you enlarge it to see all the lines!!

Click on it once and it should open up, then right click in the picture and "Save Picture As" should be on the list so you can save it to the desk top and then print it out.

I think I've got an answer...took me about 4 hours to come up with it though.
Took me back to school, I loved Tech drawing and was even pretty good at it, once...
