"Soap" probably refers to "soap operas"?

Got a +2 to work on so think the old nuts & bolts might be needed here and there ..

By the way, what is a 'Soap' ?


Oh, I was multitasking too. I finished off sorting a pile of self tappers into the various head shapes, and then moved on to organising the electrical connectors. And I still didn't miss any of the interesting bits :lol:

Sorry, too much sarcasm. Fortunately my wife and I both have an aversion to any form of TV soap opera. We enjoy real life and don't have to live vicariously through some exaggerated fictional farce .
When I lived at home as a teenager my mum watched Coronation Street with Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner detesting each other.. never understood why that behaviour, arguing and conflict was considered 'entertainment'.
Nowadays they seem to kill each other too - a good way to get an actor out of the cast but hardly a role model for society.

Rant over... :lol:

lol OK, sorry :D
I was not too sure whether it was a common wording or just some crazy idea I heard from a former English teacher :lol:
