    Do You Still Utilize Your Local Public Library?

    Yes. But I think I have read every book in there that is worth reading.

    Somewhat Cheesy 70s FM Radio Songs Which Get You

    I like this one. The Buggles. Video killed the radio star. Still sounding great. I have also included Status Quo. Pictures of matchstick men. Technically 60s, but this is a really pretty version. Hope you enjoy both. Got the tune stuck in my head now. 😜

    Kind People

    I have been on this site a little while now. In that time I have seen the amazing generosity and kindness of its members. I would like to publicly thank Ashdigger for giving my (non smoking) hobby the most terrific boost. Thanks Tim. You are a star.

    Food you Haven't Had Since your Grandmother(s) Died

    From one grandmother I learned her take on corned beef hash, cawl and bread and butter pudding. I still can't cook it as well as she did. Her roast dinners were the best. That still is pretty much all I can cook.

    Formula 1 (2023)

    Good final few laps. That was about it. I wonder how Red Bull got it so wrong at this track?

    For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?

    The Ceredigion way (not that there is such thing. But we are tight fisted). Is like the Cornish way, except you put every bit of cream you have been provided on top. Even if you have been given far too much cream.

    For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?

    Having read most of the comments here, I have come to the following conclusion. I make the best tea. But I knew that anyway. 🙂

    For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?

    It's just marketing. Saying something different to try and encourage you away from what you normally drink. But it has no affect on the flavour.

    For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?

    Three or four minutes. Remove (usually with fingers, sometimes a spoon) I don't squeeze because squeezing releases tannic acid making the tea more bitter. Small drop of milk. I do the milk myself, other people put too much in. Teapot about the same time. Pour, then add milk.

    Today I've tasted manure...

    That review is up there with my Presbyterian Mixture tin note review.

    What's Everybody Doing this Weekend?

    Off to the beach tonight. Some friends are off to work at a sort of Christian camp. So it's a little party before they go. I am fortunate to live near some scenic coastline, so we have been to the beach about three times this week already after work. The weather has been hot. Church Sunday.

    Do You Return Your Shopping Cart?

    I am with Jay. I want my £ back. Even more annoying is when you get your trolley and you don't have a pound. I nearly asked to borrow off the Big Issue seller (homeless person) once.
