Very interesting Col. When I was a small child my mother used to repaint the clock faces for a clock restorer.
Currently Morrisons are selling a kilo of Spanish plums for £2, full price. I bought them expecting to use them for stewing but they turned out to...

When I went to university there was a double suicide in my first week. A boy threw himself off the top of a building because he'd forgotten to...
