Not at all, it's a multi-purpose word. I can call you a spanner for making that remark. Calling you a wrench would sound stupid.Spanner sounds stupid

But calling a girl a wrench bandit makes more sense than a spanner bandit.

Cheese is absolutely dire in the States, I just give up bothering with it, same with bread, agree with TV too,
utter crap. When I went to Houston, a nip to the local shops involved a car, and the car park was the size of Cheshire.
Bread and cheese are a problem? Have any of you lot ever been to my town?
America is really an odd collection of many little countries with their own positives and negatives. Anyone who would order crab in Kansas City or a taco in Vermont is crazy.
Meanwhile the English continue to operate under the delusion that there's some kind of a discernible cultural difference between Blackburn and fucking Sheffield that's worth debating endlessly in a pub until the argument ends in alley by a dumpster (because the pub closes at 7:30 pm) and two bald overweight 50 year olds have come to blows.
Oh. And your women are ugly. Ok, fine. Kate Middleton and what's her name who plays striker for City, fine.
