No, and never would. I get ours delivered by the milkman in reusable glass bottles, supporting a local business and supplier, and helping protect the environment against plastic waste. But you crack on with your budget 8-pint plastic milk cartons – as long as you're alright Jack 🤨

You had it too good for too long. £2 for 8 pints of milk? What percentage of that do you think the dairy farmer pocketed? It's a massive problem that's been shown up in all it's glory by coronavirus. We want as much cheap stuff as we can get, the cheaper the better, but never think about the other end of the chain. Supermarkets have squeezed suppliers way beyond resonable limits for years and suddenly the system has been exposed. I really hope the virus leads to a new dawn in respect for growers, suppliers, shelf stackers, lorry drivers and all those never-given-a-second-thought-to workers who are suddenly the most important people in the world, keeping us fed and watered. £2 for 8 pints? Just disgusting.

Good to hear you're OK. 👍 The only reason I asked is that yesterday the whole Unread Content list was dominated by you welcoming newbies, which is no bad thing, but I was intrigued.

His history seems to consist entirely of welcoming people to the forum 😄

Sounds like the big man was trying to tell you something. Not sure what though 🤔

I don't know how you can bear to leave the house with all these screwdriver-wielding thugs about. Jesus! The only criminals I've ever encountered with a screwdriver have been plumbers and sparkies … and mechanics. Robbing barstewards 🙃

I have to commend you on the restraint shown in your post. If it was me I'd be raging blue murder for a few paragraphs before getting round to the question 🤐 As suggested, a decent repair will leave very little to show and shouldn't be more than £100. I'd be tempted to try a quick self repair first just to soften the mark.

Comedy gold 🤣

I'm pretty sure all of them can be delivered to a store of your choice?

Do you have an Argos near you? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8242358 Or a B&Q? https://www.diy.com/departments/bosch-ahm-38-g-hand-propelled-lawnmower/1332160_BQ.prd Or a Robert Dyas? https://www.robertdyas.co.uk/bosch-ahm-38-g-hand-mower Or Machine Mart? https://www.machinemart.co.uk/c/lawnmowers-lawn-rakes/?Brand=bosch

That's because your 'advice' is nonsense. Driving around with a puncture repair to the tyre sidewall for 1500 miles is absolutely fine. Um, okaaaay … Tyres with only 1.6mm grip left are safer than tyres with 3mm grip left. Um, okaaay … Everything Michelin's marketing team say is true. Um, okaaay …

Isn't this a bit like saying the max speed limit is there for a reason. Doesn't mean you should drive at that speed all the time. Is it? The difference in mm is nearly the same but do you have evidence that an equal amount of grip is applicable between the two examples? That would be stupid. You're talking about 1.6mm achieving the same amount of safety and grip as 6mm. Do you know this for a fact? I would say he, and other road users around him, have been extremely lucky.

Are you depressed? I was just wondering why you'd want to commit suicide? Sounds like a terrible idea to me. And why would you need to? If you really do need to, carry a thick blanket or duvet and a good down coat.

It was my mobile I signed up for. We never use the home phone (unplugged).

Sign up with the TPS. I haven't received a spam call of any description since I did. https://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html

There was much huffing and puffing in my Sainsbury's when they introduced those veg nets. I was earwigging some old fella complaining about it and he threatened to bring his own bags the following week. Er … 🙄 I bought two and only really use one for the sprouts, but the second came in handy when the spuds bag split. I haven't used the little bags for years, and I'm still using the same big plastic bags I picked up about 6 years ago. I'd see people pulling reams of the little ones off and putting like, two carrots in one, three onions in another. Most people are just plain stupid 🤨

Wow! So you're Transport Police? There is no hope …

Twit!

Trans City, Hoe St? I probably walked past your car where they park all their Skodas – up and down my street. I used them a couple of times and didn't have a problem but I preferred using these: https://www.expertvolkswagenaudi.co.uk/ If you're out of warranty then I'd go there instead.

I read the title as if it was a new TV channel a la Walter Presents 😀 Congratulations on your pending new arrival. I would buy him a Rolex Submariner and stick it in the safe until he's 18. The cost might sting now but in 18 years it will worth about quadruple the initial outlay 👍

Is that Stephen Merchant?

I think it was a stranger – I can't see any indication of it being a friend, which makes the anger even more peculiar. Could the son have walked or cycled to the hospital? Anyway, if I was passing away I would rather my two children were outside protesting at the destruction of their future than weeping all over me. I've been part of the problem through ignorance, and we all owe a massive debt to the state we're in on but nobody is really prepared to make the necessary sacrifices. It's the, 'I'm alright Jack, it wouldn't make any difference anyway' mob that deserve our ire.

Out of interest, how hot does an exhaust tailpipe get?

For us watch nerds that's part of the fun. And let's face it, it only takes about a minute so hardly eating into your weekend 😉 I've had too many ins and outs on the watch front to list since I last posted, but I'm enjoying my latest squeeze Seiko SPB077 'Mini MarineMaster'

Wow! It looks like a polka dot wasp moth but what it's doing in Norfolk is anyone's guess? It's more commonly found in the southern states of the US and the Caribbean. Are you on holiday? EDIT: My mistake. It's a nine-spotted moth, which lives in Southern Europe but can occasionally be seen during summer in the UK. It doesn't breed here though. That's a good rare spot – pun intended
