Do women have tools?

No reason that they couldn't have, I have never saw one on a building site though aside from working in the canteen or in the office doing nothing or cleaning the cabins.

Can you explain the British emotional/cultural connection to their placed-in-a-box extensions of their self?

They cost money and they are needed to make money. Taking a man's tools is taking food from his kids mouth. It should be punishable by death.

1. I have inherited antique tools that I don't how to use, passed down through generations, and I feel obliged to honour their last will - proportional punishment?

I'll take 'em off your hands if you like. What trade?

2. One of my ancestors lobbed his hammer at a colleague's head after it was borrowed without permission - proportional punishment?

Totally fair and reasonable. I hope it hit.

3. An entire family was emotionally unpersoned after one member took a ladder and other items without asking - proportional punishment?

Totally reasonable.

Another of my ancestors became drunk one night and unlocked a jail, all which leads me to think that British working culture is fascinating.

Sounds like an interesting idea. Just for the lulz or did he know anyone inside?
