    I really wasn't expecting a drought. I'd run down most of my butts and cleaned them out a couple of weeks ago and now I'm down to my last full one :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Yep, daily watering of pots has had to start again... I thought I was finished with that, it's the middle of September. And the ground is too hard to plant bulbs, even my stream is drying up. Such is the "new normal", I guess. Nice to sit in the sun though.

    @Nanny Beach We're moving out to Storrington, so will be on the non-coast side of the Downs. Looking forward to it for many reasons, but there's definitely things I will miss. At least I'll be able to keep everyone on here busy with questions about a new garden...!
  • Steve, talking of the lack of "G", the old man used to watch The Gadget Show, there was a woman on there who didn't realise there was a letter G.  Mine is NOTHINK AND SOMETHINK, people, even uni proff starting a sentence with SO

    ...what about 'aitch' being pronounced as 'haitch'?....I had to lock my kids in the cupboard under the stairs to stop them saying that.

    My mum passed on a mantra, "Different from, similar to", which had been drummed into her as a child. Is this correct and does anyone care any more?

    ANY pack that has an 'easy opening' or is resealable or is vacuum packed or that has a 'tear here' or semi sticky reseal strip or...or...or.....that just doesn't work, so you end up using a knife (and then cut your finger off) to open the bl**dy things.

    AND , as it's now heading into winter, car windscreen washer nozzles that still freeze up in this day and age.

    THIS PAGE PURPOSELY LEFT BLANK pages in manuals

    Manuals where they try to make them universal, so use pictures only without any words.

    Manuals originally written in Chinese and translated into English by a Martian.

    Obviously a bad start to the day here - may be down to the two pints of Vermouth/lemonade I had last night as I was in 'last days of summer usey-up mode'
