      Pinterest is bad - attempts to build a wall around useful content.

      There are ways and means of getting round the wall and extracting content from Pinterest, so I understand.

      I hate if I follow a google image link to pinterest, that image magically disappears into the list.

      Sainsbury's don't sell Dexron III. Unfortunately I've already done the week's shop, so can't do the 10x points offer!!

      I tend to like my sprouts seasonal...much better in the winter! Have you tried making sprout wine? Tastes better than it smells...

      Your suit is very becoming as it is drip dry, stains generally wipe off. But it's temperature control in extremely hot or cold can be a bit uncomfortable....also doesn't offer much in sun protection with out sun cream treatment.

  15. is waiting for the hosepipe ban to be announced.....

      Sixty-ish miles north of you it has been warm, overcast and very humid (thunderstorm weather) all afternoon without ever actually coming to anything. As a result, my grass's long-overdue cutting remains undone.

      If you want some real entertainment with it take it over to France and then to a Citroen service agent in a small town or village. That will guarantee the attention of their entire staff as they all try to work out the differences from an LHD model and actually do real work on it as part of that process.
