I say bidet, I mean garden sprinkler attachment. I hadn't considered this. The garden hose through the lavy window is a bit chilly this time of year and semi frozen water would be a bit of a surprise. An extended hose from the tap shower might be a goer but control of the heat setting from a tap shower might give the heat of a madras curry a mild second. 10 hours ago, micky said: I think it may have been 1974 when there was a real shortage ! there was a real panic then and people were going over to France and bring vanloads back and they made a few bob out of it , it was the same with Candles and Spuds . I think that was a time of all sorts of rationing. Petrol, electric and bread. I remember a bakery that there was fighting on the deck as the treys of loaves were brought out.

What is the charge against the defendan't ? " procuring and Hoarding Bog rolls for unknown purposes", milaud. "Hmm". "Is there anything known about the defendant "? " He was seen looking at the giant packs of Haribos !!! Milaud ! " That's it. HE'S GUILTY. "We'll have to make an example here. Give him 50 lashes and tie him to the end of the bog roll aisles as a warning to others 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
