Tea bags often are made of plastic these days ... so I read we should be tearing them and composting the contents and recycling the bag. What a palaverDon't put meat or cooked food on (it attracts rats - use a Green Cone type composter for those, or a Wormery possibly)And no faeces from...

Hi Val, Ophiuchus (The Serpent Holder) as a star sign has been around for a very long time so if you believe in Astrology then you were always born under one of the 13 signs of the Zodiac. Back in the days when I used to set 'obscure' quiz questions as well as normal ones I used to ask what the...

Fair play to Morrisons, the fish monger there spotted my angling badges and actually caught up with me while I was queing at the checkout & showed me a load of fish they had just reduced to clear on a trolly.He asked if i'd be interested in any, I said yes, he said which ones, I said "All of...

I like Hugh Fearnley Wittenstall until tonight. He has committed a heinous crime. He's publicised the virtues of Mackerel.Mackerel is my favourite fish by far, and being so underrated it is cheap. If demand for it increases then my favourite fish will go up in price:(Shhh Hugh, don't tell...
