Wow, great work Evert. There is always hope.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

That's extraordinary! I wouldn't have thought such a reclamation possible, Evert

But those cross-point screws have to go! Or me and Wal won't ever sleep again...............
