Just a tiny, tiny, first world peeve.... I haven't been able to get hold of my favourite breakfast cereal for the last six weeks - has anybody seen either Kellogs or Sainsbury's own Fruit & Fibre cereal anywhere?
Haven't been able to get hold of Kellogs F&F for a few weeks. I bought some Lidl own label today and will try that.
My washing machine is finally fixed. The engineer turned up and 20 minutes later is was all sorted. I asked what the problem was and he just shrugged and said he didn't bother checking and just changed everything that might have been faulty. New heater, new thermister and new control board. A couple of hundred quids worth if I try and buy them myself but guess less than the cost of an engineer's time to check them if they come direct from the manufacturer. It's a shame they don't value my time as highly but at least it's sorted now anyway.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Apparently it's not the first case either. Governments around the world have been finding that Chinese made face masks haven't been up to standard either after ordering hundreds of thousands of them.

Gowns and masks being sub-standard is bad enough, but test kits provided from China to many governments have been found simply not to work. In the USA one of their chief medical bods cancelled orders for production of millions of face masks and ordered another company to produce vaccine for smallpox and anthrax. The company the order was placed with is, entirely coincidentally, one in which he as a financial stake.

Although the mask aren't up to medical requirements, why can't they be provided for sale to the general public? They can't be any worse than being told to make them ourselves.
Hopefully they were returned for a full refund. The governments would get a taste of how frustrating the lack of regulation on foreign sales is for normal people then. Perhaps they bought some blue rose seeds with the shipments too that turned out to be weeds.

Oh the joys of the great outdoors! Been suffering from very itchy bites on my legs which are fierce enough to lose sleep over. Couldn't find any culprits and it certainly wasn't my usual bete noir - ticks. Looks like I have suffered an attack of harvest mites (chiggers). Gardening clothes now getting a hot thrashing in the washing machine.
I’m saying nothing about the idea that less regulation in international trade is a good idea ... deja vu or what 🤯🤬 ... maybe one day the light will dawn ... 💡

Words fail me.
