    Where do you hang your clothes at night?

Up to now l've been putting them on top of a three drawer chest. Today I removed the chest along with its larger partner and a wardrobe. Storage is now in a...

    Bike maintenance

    I replaced the rear sprocket not long ago. I turned the bike downside up on the workbench and it was ok, perhaps not as stable as I would have liked. Lidl does a floor stand for not a lot of money.

    Anyone remember what a litre of heating oil cost in 1988.

    Was reminiscing about putting oil fired heating in my first house back around 1988. I remember it cost around £6.50 per week, which was less than we had spent on coal, and a lot less bother. I have no idea how many litres that was. If I knew how much it was per litre I could extrapolate and...

    Bradford's. Robbery. The only things missing were were the muskets and the horses.

    Bradford's. Robbery. The only things missing were were the muskets and the horses.

    As okeydokey said, give them a ring and ask if a mistake was made. I recently clawed back almost a grand by querying two invoices.
