Admit your ignorance - things you've only just realised/learned

I today discovered you can move a lit fire from one room to another using a saucepan!

I'd lit a fire in our dining room as a bit of luxury to accompany our sunday roast, then we later adjourned upstairs to the sitting room. I ummed and arr'd about lighting another but that seemed a waste since there was another still burning in an empty room and joked about brining the jot coals up. "I know you're joking but don't even think about it" then after a pause "you could use a saucepan" which I can confirm works fine.

This should not be taken as advice or good practice

my mum used to do that very often. scooping up coals with a coal shovel from the Rayburn in the kitchen, and dumping them in the lounge fireplace. she dropped some once and burnt the rug

Seems, if you have a side hussle in addition to any more normal income, if the gross income is less than £1000 it does mot need to be included in tax returns.
Courtesy of a Great Britain news site doing a common storyline, this time telling us that the £1000 gross includes FiT income from solar.

Was a house really a house back in the day if there wasn't at least one burn/scorch mark on the floor though? 😆

The Doomsday Clock is usually updated late January.

Jerry cans got their name because they were originally used by the German army to transport fuel.

Incidentally, the Allied copies leaked because they used rolled seams instead of welded ones.

I've just come across KMC xGlide chains while looking for an x10 to have in the spares box for my ebike...

Officially made for 9/10/11-speed bikes!

Oh, only CUES bikes, not universal Shimano HG cassettes...
