Default Rusty old tools!

Hi Guys

Well the shippers are here tomorrow and I cant flamin wait! One problem thats just arisen though is this - we've got friends in oz and obviously offered to take anything they needed us to take across for them in our container - the company pays for it! Well their parents dropped some stuff off tonight and I didnt think to check what it was - assumed it was just clothes etc - but half of it is rusty old tools?!! what do I do?? Should I try and clean them up as best I can or is it a real no no?? I'd like to get them across if I can because they've been really helpful for us and found us a house etc.

What do you reckon????

Any advice appreciated!

Rach xxxx

rust isn`t catchin mate

they are more concerned about soil and its potential
for carrying seeds etc

a quick spray with jeyes and they will be alright

Well I clicked, hoping for Shakespearian prose from the master, only to find one entry (iPom waits for jokes about the word 'entry') ... and nothing else.

How will I fulfill my lust for your words, Steve 'o?



But yes, let's get back to the rusty tools.
