    How much Platinum Jubilee merchandise will be going straight to landfill ?
    It’ll all get one outing but there could be a pause until another Elizabeth comes along celebrating a platinum jubilee.

    If China put the stuff directly into landfill, it would probably be more eco-friendly.

    Not curmudgeonly about that at all, but my god where did all the dust come from in my house?

    I don't have the courage to try that B3  :disappointed:

    Talking about new specs. I had new ones a couple of weeks ago and Lord knows what they've done with the prescription. The lenses aren't synchonised so I can't see properly. Now have to go back into town, a 40 mile round trip and 2 hours plus of my time plus fuel cost. The worst of it is that I'm not even convinced that I need new ones as my eyes haven't changed in years.

    I just did a car insurance comparison. Cheapest was just under £200, most expensive is just over £6000 and I'd have to have a box fitted to the car so they can make sure I'm not driving like my wife a hooligan. For 6k I'd have to crash just to get my money's worth out of it.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
