Dismayed to find out that my Bank is closing its prestigous branch in the City although they are keeping open two branches in rather small local towns, both probably 7 miles away. I can only surmise that the landlord (probably the City council) have increased the rent considerably so they're voting with their feet. The City council have been notorious for years over its high commercial rents.
In another rant, has anybody used the new Resolva weedkiller? Apparently I can't use it between Sept 15th and 1st April? Having read the instructions (twice) it seems too dangerous to use on anything and anywhere, please bring back good old glyphosate!
You can use it but it won’t do any good, the weeds have to be actively growing, with plenty of leaf to take the weed killer, so 1st of April is a good time.

It’s the bar code they need from the vouchers. Usually.
The page I printed had what looked like a bar code - turns out it was only a ‘depiction’ of a bar code, and I should have clicked on it. Thought it looked a bit small, and I increased the size to print it! I’ll get there in the end
Bonfire's are, technically, illegal in some parts. I think a fire bowl could be dangerous for children and pets and, knowing me, would be a trip hasard for me and a tad pretentious in our rural garden but I do fancy a fire pit, maybe, one day, if I can put a grill on it and cook sausages and roast veggies.
I do agree tho that adequate clothing is a better solution to being warm outside.

Surely the odd bonfire is hardly a crime. Never used a fire pit, although I can see the appeal, but I really enjoy the odd bonfire.
Not exactly a bonfire, but having wrecked several paper shredders over the years, I have bought a mini incinerator. Now, destroying unwanted confidential documents is a task I really look forward to!

I just tear mine up and chuck them into the compost bin
Chimineas look really dangerous to me, especially as they are often used by persons with drink taken. I would be really concerned about children touching or falling against them too
