Ordered a German tyre from Germany. Let’s see how that works as in theory there should be no more charges.

I ordered a jigsaw from Ravensburger in Germany, sent them a print and they sent it back in 1000 pieces! It took 10 days from ordering to receiving parcel, quicker than forecast, and no extra to pay! Under £39 no extra charge and it was £38.90, how convenient!.
I think it depends on price of item and what it is categorized as, hope it helps

Lunch negotiated. The last of the curried parsnip soup, a ham, stilton and chutney sandwich, two and a clementine.

Am now turning my attention to a plot bunny for my writing project.

Can I ask people on here who are knowledgeable about wooden things. I now have an outside cupboard to put all the gardening clutter. The shelf is not supplied, but there are end "batons" for a shelf. It is 48 inches long, and ten inches wide and will have the smaller/lighter items on it.

I have found (in the garage) a piece of wood 48 inches long, but it is at least one inch thick, as it is an off-cut when the new fence was built. This piece of wood is very heavy. What thickness of wood is the minimum you would use for a shelf, 48 x 10 inches long that only has support at each end?

He probably wants his tyre in one piece, though.

Todays excitement is going to a new warehouse that has opened. They sell short sell by/gone past dated food in bulk. Tinned tomatoes and cereal is on the list. The place is within 10 mins walk, but don't fancy my chances with a trolly load of food.

I think the boss used to be my neighbour .

At least an inch thick.

Yes, I thought so, as it does not have centre support. I will abandon the idea of a shelf then. I do not want a heavy shelf getting accidentally dislodged and landing on my bonce.

The company was apparently on TV some time ago when they opened down south. Just opened their Manchester warehouse (Rogers they are called). It was obvious some of the surplus has come from what would have been bar supplies - 24 glass bottles of diet coke for £5, 25 'glass' bottles of tonic for £3. 24 cans of coconut cream for £5. Just filled a large corner of my garage !

Poole originally .

What about putting a support in the middle ? A bit like a partition !

I've just realised that I've put my boxers on back to front. I really should stop getting dressed in the dark.

Not as bad as my mate,for a joke he wore his overcoat back to front.Sadly he came of his motorbike.He was ok till a passer by tried to turn his head around the right way.

Screw it in place, maybe? Or, wot @Illaveago says.

Time to go feed the cats, and then it will be time to go and feed me.
