My neighbours stopped having milk delivered, someone kept stealing it.

Re-use the washing up water until it's thick enough to serve as soup, then water down the leftover soup until it's thin enough to use for washing up again.

Save time hacking websites by getting a teenager to hack them for you.

This will give you time to take something for that hacking cough, and to call a fleet street hack and tell them you've been hacking. Then celebrate with a quick game of golf, but don't get in the rough or you'll have to hack.

We never have that problem, because I’m a bit of a clean freak, I am always washing my hands and I clean stuff like remote controls, iPads etc all the time. Baby wipes are great for regular light cleaning, also work really well at getting dead flys off motorcycle leathers

I think the poster was talking about the plastic itself breaking down and going sticky over time, not accumulated filth
