The LED torch is worth buying for $7.99. It has a signalling feature that is never advertised - press the on switch until the light clic...

Dad and Dave was a bit of a skit on the radio back in the 1940s & 50s. It used to be on most evenings, and was about the life and adventures of a Victorian outback farmer and his son.
