Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is used to make whipped cream and the like. Kids are buying small canisters of the stuff and breathing it in to get high. Around here we find piles of the canisters in car parks and laybys or thrown in the steams etc, I collect them up and recycle them. I thought they were air rifle CO2 canisters for ages until someone told me about this NOS stuff.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
me too! As ours usually parks in the 'layby' at the front of our houses, and I can see it from the front window, it's always looked like sweets or an actual ice cream being handed over whenever I've looked.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
back in the day - before anyone had even considered selling laughing gas to kiddies - ice-cream vans always came round our street when it was cold and raining. When it was warm and sunny they went to the beach and made far more money. They only turned up round the housing estates when there was no one buying on the coast or in the town centre.
And round our way, they always played 'the Happy Wanderer'. Fol de ro.

It's funny how the tune gets inside my head when l'm gardening- followed by a longing for a 99. With regard to curmudgeonliness, why is it that when l decide to go out in the garden, there is a chilly wind and a heavy shower. Now sitting indoors with a cuppa and the sun's come out

It's called British Weather! I had the same problem today. Thinking about cutting the grass for the first time 'coz it hasn't rained in a few days. Decided I'd do it after lunch once it warmed up a bit. Wot 'appens? Persists down!!
Well if it had persisted down after you'd cut the grass, it would have stimulated growth. Your grass would have grown more vigorously and you would have needed to cut it again sooner.
