Try Caffé Vista, as mentioned elsewhere.

I am completely surrounded now, but there hasn't been a single spot here yet.

We had about 8mm where I am, overnight, and @Carole's butt is now fully moistened again, on the anniversary of her last appearance here.

Truss, Patel and Braverman are working on it, as we speak.

A lot depends on what happens to 'old' phones. None of my three phones have been 'new' when they got to me. However, I am not a heavy user, hence getting my regular greeting a few minutes ago - "use it or we'll turn you off".

Happy fifth anniversary to Thawa Bridge and @Keemanan 123 go A man with three birthdays, one more than the Queen. One day, he'll even learn to hold boxes of chocolates the right way up.

Previous discussion of the Sandyford executions here - https://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/sandyford-meadow.20340/

More of an appliance than a tool, but I'm impressed with this timer that I got off eBay last September. It was intended to provide an automated means of running the immersion heater, when the oil boiler is off. I've never actually got around to fitting it yet, though. It has an internal...

I get the odd sycamore popping up and I generally remove them - but, for the last few years, leafcutter bees has been using this one. For some reason, they find it preferable to any of the others that become available, so it can stay here for them. Their harvesting procedure doesn't seem to...

Someone I knew lived right next to a motorway junction. They often had cars stopping for phone calls, etc. One day, they got up to find somebody parked fairly neatly half-way up the drive and apparently asleep. They presumed that he would be awake and gone before they needed to go out...

The privatised water companies have been handing out dividends for thirty years, and largely ignoring the real problems. Maybe, if the CEO got a thousand pound fine for every leak there might be a response, but that won't happen, obviously. Conversely, I wonder how many urban trees actually...

Ah, I saw him again yesterday. He still has a bit of a limp, but seems OK otherwise. He was using the pedestrian crossing outside the school. Actually, because the crossing is humped, it has a handy tendency to dislodge grain from passing farm vehicles, and he was tidying that up.

Possibly counting individual feet?

This has made me want to see Citizen Smith again, now that we seem to be back in the 1970s.

I remember going into WH Smith around 1990, during a hot spell. They had the air conditioning cranked up to eleven and it was remarkably cool - a welcome thing for the few minutes that you would be in there. But, at that time, there was a till at the bottom of the stairs, right under a vent...
