    A few years ago it was said that about 1 in every 65 people in the UK was a millionaire.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I don't think I'd mind being obscenely rich so long as I didn't have to mix with obscenely rich people
    What's SWMBO?   

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Thanks @BenCotto. I'm going to let these text abbreviations go over my head from now on.

    Cheese before bed and too many childrens' books, but I woke up this morning convinced that someone had eaten my pet dinosaur :#

    Sounds like OH's dream the other night when he was sent to investigate a nuclear bomb which was also a haggis ... 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Definitely a shortage of decent vacuum flasks.  I nearly passed out in our local outdoor specialist when I saw a 1 litre flask priced at over £60!  I did find cheapo flasks in one of the local retail sheds, but the sticker on them said they keep liquids hot for 'up to' 6 hours.  I take the 'up to' with a large pinch of salt.  Finally got a proper Thermos which say 24 hours, but even that was over 20 quid.

    We've got Contigo flasks. My tea was still too hot to drink after 4 hours yesterday.
