 Items That Have Changed Use - Bromptonaut
I've been overhauling the Sturmey Archer 5 speed hub gear on my older Brompton.

Needed something to clean out the central bore in the spindle through which the toggle chain connects with the gear selector key. A pipe cleaner would have been ideal.

Asked at the tobacco counter in the supermarket but was told they 'might' have then around times x&y (for kids modelling) but not otherwise. Thought my best bet would be Hobbycraft.

What other once common place items have taken on a different use?
