Boojum Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Aye, the place to go at the station in an emergency for a shite mass market paperback cos you forgot to pack a decent book, which you then deliberately leave on the train at the end of your journey Edited August 11, 2023 by Boojum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePeter Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The 40l coco block for £4 is the cheapest around , that and pound lands 10l for £1 Ive been looking on line and on amazon, a seller called Elixir Gardens sells them in bulk for a good price at £79.99 for 10 x 75l blocks Ive found a location that's good for swamp tubes but going to put a few trail cameras up this week and see if anyone pops in between now and next spring and if not, i will use it as it's got a stream there as well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry blunt Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 My first job out of school was working at Wilko’s, they were lovely people, it’s one of the few jobs I’ve had that I actually enjoyed, it was full of cougars and I was game It started as a single hardware shop in Leicester and is now owned my the great grandkids, be sad if it go’s under. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I popped in for something, {Post office} there were shoplifters just shovelling stuff into carrier bags. The woman at the till said 'They know I can't stop them- that's why the shelves {in certain categories} are bare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO way! I've heard of Cougars, but amongst women of a certain age, it's considered poor form to target someone who could be your son's age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blerie420 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Just cleared my local out. Having a chat with the lady on the till, she rang everything through at 50 percent even though it was 30 bless her. She even went as far as to say "you should've just walked out with it" Shame I had my hands full 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow River Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Apparently the HMV owner is close to agreeing a deal. Won't save several hundred support jobs though, which will be made redundant on Monday... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursed Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Frankly, at this point, almost anything would be better than the thirteen year tory shit show we've had to endure, but yes, any truly left government would probably be better than the current populism and demagoguery of the right here and internationally.

Crow River Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Gutted for the Wilkos employees. Hope they can all find jobs elsewhere. It's a real shame about Wilko, I suppose budget conscious growers and home brewers will have to look elsewhere for supplies now, and pay more... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
