    Not the same Leclerc as the French supermarkets, @Obelixx

    Not much use in a garden @Papi Jo

    Thanks for playing. Here's the answer to the riddle. I have just purchased this scarifier  Optima 37VE by MTD.
    I pledge to use it without being drunk or under the influence of psychotropic drugs. I certify that I have read the instructions for use, etc. ;)B)o:)
    Over the years my back was starting to seriously complain about the manual scarification sessions that went on and on. I hope that I will succeed in mastering this new tool to obtain a correct result.
    PS.- This is not an advertisement!
    PPS.- @Obelixx , this machine will no doubt prove more useful in my garden than a Leclerc battle tank (and less dangerous).

    Can I just quietly say, here in the corner, the day that boxing is banned I shall think that humanity has made some progress.

    And the day nobody wants to box or watch it will be even greater progress.

    How about Boxing Day? ;)

    Maybe eating leftovers  or queuing to return unwanted gifts could be sold to the masses as a competitive sport.

    Totally agree @raisingirl ... as I’ve said  many times on this board ... I loathe boxing and loathe even more the emotions it triggers in some of the folk who watch it. 

    Boxing Day however, with cold roast gammon, cheese and pickled, is another matter entirely 😋

    Leftovers? Surely you mean seconds? Nothing is ever leftover in our house.
