Fed up now...

[Diver]

I take it you've got the heating on then... I'm fully clothed & can barely feel my fingers...

I haven't had the heating on since March except for 10 min's a month to run the system. The house is warm since we had the cavity wall and 3ft thick loft insulation done

Now raining horizonatlly.

Baton down the hatches Diver or get your dry suit on.

Absolutely lashing down for nearly the last hour

[Bob Dalek]

Hammersmith's pretty rainy.

Off-topic question: anyone know of a device that dispenses cat food, bird seed, etc. on a timer basis? Mrs. Dalek & I are going on holiday and want Spike, our resident hedgehog, to be fed each evening, without the birds scoffing the lot.

[Bob Dalek]

Yes.

That wonderful shop Lidl do one.

Sometimes.

Cheers. I'll get change from a pound, then!

[Bob Dalek]

You'll probably get to keep your pound since they haven't had them in stock since May.

Thanks, again, for your excellent advice.

Just chuck a pile of cabbage & lettuce in the corner of the garden. it'll draw slugs and snails from miles for a couple of weeks. That'll keep it fed

Spike is a special needs hedgehog and has to have top quality meal worms and other delicacies. Slugs, he tells us, are for hedgehogs looked after by permie scum tramps with no money.

The spiny little f**ker will have drowned by the time you get back anyway.

Not so, dog's fart. His hideaway is, cleverly, well above ground level... in my shed, which has a roof and all other shed-related features, designed to keep the inner dry. We also live several metres above sea level. I bet you feel silly now.
