Ronsons were good enough for the British Army. They took all we'd give 'em.

Well, Bond was Royal Navy, but I take your point - when did an Englishman ever turn down a freebie?  Smile

Shermans were called "Ronsons" because they lit first time, every time. They were also called "Tommy cookers".

There's a story about tanks (don't know which ones, maybe you can tell me if it's true).  The story goes that a general on an inspection tour during WWII asked a tank commander, 'So, the bullets go right through your tanks, is that correct?'

'Not right through, General - they just come in one side and rattle around for a while.'
