    Thanks for that, we'll look into them.

    Dust masks for women

    My partner is struggling to find a dust mask that fits her face - she's of a fairly slight build and so far all the masks she's tried seem to be more or less useless, meaning she has to keep her mouth open all the time or similar antics, or if she does it up tight enough to seal, it squashes her...

    Then we agree on something - the way criminals are apprehended and dealt with is inadequate, but that comes down to funding in large part. Re: capital punishment, there are enough well documented cases of people having wrongly been found guilty and put to death to make anyone with any...

    When you say "our" justice system, do you mean in the UK or in Bulgaria? If you refer to the UK, a large part of the problem is the consistent Tory policy of underfunding the police, the courts, the prisons and the probation service, with fewer coppers spending more time on things that should...

    Workshop burgled, now my tools are on eBay

    I don't think any of us are inured to being robbed, or think that others have the right to our stuff without asking. I also like to think that if I caught someone in the act, I would tackle them, but that is a world away from hiring other criminals to exact my revenge retrospectively. I also...

    And how would you have felt if some child, innocently out for an adventure tried to peer in the windows?

    Sonic Scrubber?

    Maybe try your electric toothbrush on it first, see if it works, just make sure to use an old brush head (or your wife's...).

    So, Barbara T, how're you fingers doing? Hopefully starting to heal a bit?

    In no way do I condone or excuse thievery, but when you advise turning up at the thieves door with "the right kind of help" to make them need treatment from the NHS, or when you talk of using "psychos" to sort the problem for you, you are inciting violence and you cannot deny it. I am not the...

    Except of course that of your original figure of 170,000 missing people every year, only a fraction stay missing - 4521 were still missing after a year in 2021/22, which is a smaller proportion of the population than I would have expected, I'll let you do the maths for yourself. (Figures from...

    Sorry if I'm being thick here, but what has the number of missing persons got to do with the OP getting burgled? Also of course, if you're going to quote the number of people who go missing, for the sake of balance, you should also give the figures for how many reappear and please give your...

    Big Chisel!

    It's got a bolster, so probably not a turning chisel. A caulking chisel springs to mind, but I'm probably wrong... I've just looked up caulking chisels and as I suspected - I was wrong!

    Good luck arguing in court that they are not criminals. I would suggest your views need moderating. As I say, I can understand the anger of being a victim, but anarchy is not the answer. And let's not forget, commissioning a crime is just another crime.

    Another "What species?"

    Although.........Sweet Chestnut will do the same, both are very high in tannins, which can lead to some wonderful effects if fumed with ammonia.

    So you're advocating paying one sort of criminal to stop another? Are "pshyco's" any less obnoxious than thieves? Now you're being silly.

    I understand the urge to dole out baseball bat justice, I would be spitting blood if someone took my tools, but if you were to get even in that way and you got caught and convicted, that conviction would stay on your record for maybe 10 years, during which time it would have to be declared on...

    While I'm all in favour of the perps getting what they deserve, if you turn up and clobber them, as some have suggested having bought the tools back on ebay, you've left a very obvious trail for the plod to follow back to your door. Assault, no matter how well earned, is viewed more seriously...
