        Many many years ago won a Timex watch on one of their loyalty schemes.

          did you know, you can determine where North is, using a watch. Not only that, you can do it with a digital watch also


          so there

              I can tell pretty much what time it is and where North is without a watch.

              so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea

                  Once upon a time, when I were but a lad, Strongbow was a decent drink. A bit fizzy and not dry enough for my palate, but cracking on a hot summer's day.

                  Indeed.

                  Sweeteners, FFS.

                  Strongbow is now toxic chemical waste, like most everything else 'brewed' by the big boys in the UK.

                  If you want cider, stick to a Weston's.

                  (Top Secret tip: any supermarket own-brand cider that says 'matured in oak' was made by Weston's and will be good stuff )

                  But one I liked was an old-fashioned, cloudy scrumpy with bits floating in it made by a microbrewer behind a pub in Hertfordshire. In my heaviest drinking days I could not manage to finish a second pint of that before I fell asleep in the pub. (I was once left to sleep in someone's car all afternoon after going of a lunchtime from work.)
                  My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

                    Good for cleaning sinks or topping up batteries.
