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

[Gwylan]

I just learned that the two boxes which I thought each contained 25 V-brake blocks, don't.

With knowledge comes responsibility.
How will you apply this knowledge to the benefit of mankind?
Are we, the hoi polloi, ready to know this or do you have to prepare us?

I've ordered two more boxes, if that helps.

Bit decisive this early in the morning.

Think that's an afternoon type decision.

Why would you want an odd number of brake blocks?!

Nah - I'm often half asleep after lunch
best to decide in the morning

Unless it is an Ecumenical matter

That's why he's got two boxes

Or thought he did ...

For the odd unicycle or three

Good job I don;t have any Quorn in or I would be trying that!

Try microwaving a Cadbury Flake.

It doesn't melt.

No - not trying it - sounds dodgy

waste of a flake whether it melts or not - and who wants to wast a flake!!!!!
and what is the point in a melted flake??

I've often wondered why it would be so hard to put 26 in the boxes.

That's rather worrying. What is it made of? Old bin bags or recycled park benches?

But it doesn't melt ! You can eat it just fine.

The magic is that the microwave works by making the water molecules vibrate and this heats the objects up.

No water in the flake so it's impervious to microwaves.

It can’t be that simple. We use the microwave for melting chocolate when cake making/decorating

I must say, that really surorises me. Milk is listed as one of the ingredients, and milk certainly contains water.

But I note the wikipedia entry for flake says then when heated, it softens but doesn't melt, while most chocolate would melt.

Oh sure chocolate does melt but there's something in the way they produce the Flake.

Don't try it with a ripple or wispa.
