Rigby rifles...
2020-06-21
[The Firearm Blog] London gunmaker John Rigby & Co. has revealed details of an intrepid and ingenious strategy that enabled it’s core team to carry on crafting its premium rifles during the strict lockdown enforced throughout the UK this spring.

Three weeks before British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the national lockdown to combat the spread of COVID-19, Rigby Managing Director Marc Newton discussed the looming pandemic with his team. Those who were free from any health conditions and could not work from home volunteered to be locked down at Rigby’s London premises. The factory complex was fitted out with washing, sleeping and cooking facilities and eight members of the team — including Newton — made it their home for seven weeks. During this time they were not only able to make significant inroads into Rigby’s bulging order books, but also experience a spirit of camaraderie that surpasses even that felt on the toughest of hunts.

Besoeker dear, I think that’s the nicest way I’ve ever been called old.

M., you are utterly silly.

#2  Used to use a Croatian tailor where I lived. First time I came in she said, with a wicked glare, "Who told you about me?" Once we got that out of the way her work was fabulous.

#1  Some businesses adapt to closure, some go bust. Israeli stats show that seamstresses are hardest hit.
