What's wrong in this picture?

I also wanted to propose another quiz.

No problem, you got it.

I just saw this thread.

The minute I saw the Wilkinson Sword logo on those pillar boxes I knew they are English made. Because the font used in it is 2 generations back. They changed it twice since then.

But @Space_Cadet , seriously. What kind of question is that? What's wrong with the picture?
There is nothing wrong, except those are pretty bad blades. You can send them to me, I will dispose of them in a proper way. I swear! Честное пионерское!

Can't help but ask:
Are you having a Wilkinson obsession? (It is a serious disease).

Are you having a Wilkinson obsession? (It is a serious disease).

I'm doomed.

I’m curious. Did the vendor know they were selling English-made Wilkinsons, or, short of sleeping with Aphrodite, are you just a super lucky guy?

 

[SharpieB]

Youse guys gotta get out more.

The seller was aware of the country of manufacture, but for him it meant nothing special.

I lucked into a large collection of vintage Wilkinsons in much the same way - a bit over 200 Super Sword Edges and Light Brigades for what amounted to some glass beads and a few blankets. Those were the days…

You lot, you know you are a bunch of enablers! After reading this thread I bought a pillar of German Wilkinsons. Even though I have 150 of them.

P.S. I am joking. I perfectly know one of the main reasons for the existance B&B is enabling. (But I still bought that German pillar-box)

Oh, no, I won't let you!
I am on a holy crusade!

Good for you. But I don't see why I should buy thousands of German Wilkinsons for two reasons.

1. They only work with my whiskers in the Progress @5 with Palmolive cream.
2. I have more than 27000 blades.
