      Judging by some posts it definitely is, but now I have regrettably added to that scenario (but Andy has my permission to pull my post if it goes against the spirit of that thread)

  23. has just worked out that in this and the previous version of the site we have passed the 1,000,000 posts mark a while ago. No wonder I can't find stuff.

      Mine's jammed. Quite the most useless bit of kit that I've ever owned. Particularly now as I can put all my garden rubbish in the brown bin.

      I looked at one but my brown bin is much cheaper, quieter and easier to use!
