Neighbour update. They are over the moon. So they should be, it was a good deed (and we get along really well too). Missus is happy too. So all in all, a job well done, no injuries either which is always a bonus!
Bought a new Black & Decker workmate . Staggered at the cost - around £95 plus delivery - I bought a repacked one (returned unused) from Amazon. Price only £71.42 with free delievery if I watch their streamed TV. I accepted knowing it might also get me out of assembling it. Box arrived, torn. Opened it to find the vice/ jaw handle broken. Called Amazon who suggested I returned it or they could give me a further discount of £12. I told them the price of a handle is -on Amazon - £7.99 plus shipping. I suggested a better deal should be offerred. They agreed and gave me a further 30% discount from purchase price. I ordered "aftermarket" handle for £1.99. Started to watch the Night Manager.

So then it’s just decorating
