Kingham. Are you back at work again Ken possibly on a consultancy or contract basis, as they haven't got the qualified nor experienced personnel?

Best wishes with that.

Jock.

A really cr@p E bike from Halfords... was priced up wrong and had totally the wrong info card on it, took over an hour to get to the bottom of why it was marked up at £469, and the Internet said it should be £389. After asking what the craic was, he said this one was 5kg lighter (clearly the same bike) . Anyway ended up getting it for £369, Doubt it will be much cop, but its not like it will get much use.

The phone I'm typing this message on.
It does't have a 'brand' but R 20 finds it or similar on search engines. Chinese of course, 6.3" screen, (Raindrop!!! Whatever that is.) Twin sim cards, expandable to 128Mb. Loads of apps pre -installed.. Came complete with charger, usb, mains plug, (not British).

Being a tight wad Tyke I paid the exorbitant price of £73 and I'm very impressed.

Wild Brambles, may I ask why you chose a jar of Manuka Honey for your profile photo? Just curious. Manuka is the best honey money can buy IMO.?

 

[Wild Brambles]

I registered the domain http://www.wildbrambles.com/ (it's just parked at the moment) because I hope to set up a woodland trust in a few years. I'll take a more suitable photo next spring, and change the avatar. The honey jar id a pic of a jar I bought at M&S with a 50% reduction because it was close to its sell by date. Pretty stupid really, as I believe people have eaten honey from the days of the Pharaohs. The other one that got me was Himalayan salt from Morrisons - salt from deposits from thousands of years ago, but once it gets to the supermarket, it seems it only lasts a couple of years.

I think those dates are whats known as an arse covering exercise for the packaging company ?

Evian water is filtered for millions of years through volcanic rock so why does it need a sell by date?
