    Default "Unpickable".... I doubt it!

    Another of my odd bits, this one came from a safe in a guardroom "somewhere in the south of England"

    The safe was used to hold a couple of magazines of ammunition in the days when patrols weren`t trusted to walk about with loaded weapons.... Nowadays it is the store for the guard commanders whisky :-):)
