It got 15 minutes in the other direction! As for a new motor, I was very surprised to find that the motor was still cold - good old Kato.  :thumbsup:

I used to be indecisive - now I'm not - I don't think.
If a friend seems distant, catch up with them.

Does the sliced bread prolong the life of the salad bin or the fridge, (or both)?

Well, when I say 'fridge' I actually mean a hole in t'patio :cold:

Hole in t'patio - you're lucky to have a patio!  We've got a patch o' mud.

The Table-Top Railway is an attempt to create, in British 'N' gauge,  a 'semi-scenic' railway in the old-fashioned style, reminiscent of the layouts of the 1930s to the 1950s.

For the made-up background to the railway and list of characters, please see here: https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=38281.msg607991#msg607991

I'll iksploon Nobster - sort of - you see, the bits might Kling-on!  That is the source of your confusion probably.

Exactly.....

Now I know why so many members have cats .... they can sit over the spills when visitors come over  :D

(As obviously cats will do exactly as they are told, with no hidden agenda, and will always be as helpful as they can in keeping you out of trouble  ::) )

All the best

Ah!  :idea: So that's how Ginger Toms get their colour. They sit - and roll about - on your carpet! :D

Do some breeds of cat have better absorbancy than others? And could a dog be used instead?  :hmmm:

May have to get a big dog instead, as the hoover nozzle has kinda spread the stain a bit further, and was colouring everything it touched ginger. :o

Now I am being very careful not to tread it further. :worried:

I will blame it on an attack by Weymouth's secret Ginger Ninja ;)

All best wishes

:smiley-laughing: For cleaning windows!......That's sound advice from Mr Splod about not using soft boiled eggs! But I don't know about pickled eggs..... :hmmm:
