Warning to all. "Wet and Forget" is a very effective product for removing algae and moss on concrete or brick surfaces. It advertises itself as the only product of its kind that is safe for pets. Well...
I get confused when people talk about how they "love" someone but are not "in love" with that person. I can get the "love" part but what is the distinction between "loving" and "being in love"? This...
Hi everyone, I want to buy a plastic cover for my microwave oven, to protect it from splashes and dust. The only ones I can find online are on US sites. Does anyone know where I might buy such an...
With the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, and the interest in WW!, I have been thinking a lot about my Grandmother, and thought I would tell you this sad little story. No one I know is interested...
Just wondered what anyone thought of the ending of this series of Peaky Blinders. Was it Tommy's plan to get his entire family arrested, so that he could start again without them? I'd had a couple of...

I bought an infra red heat lamp to give some comfort in the cold weather to the feral cats that sleep in my shed. Does anyone know if it is safe to run this light 24 hours a day? If not, what would be...
I don't normally mind spiders much. If there is one in the house I will leave it alone, unless it encroaches on something I need to use, in which case I usually catch the spider in a glass and put it...
