Re: What is everyone eating from the garden?

Very little at the moment, although we did have some chard this evening, and I've lifted the onions. We're also eating strawberries, a few raspberries, and red currants. Oh and broad beans. Our peas got eaten by mice, our spuds got kissed by frost which seems to make them very attractive to slugs, a...

Re: home first aid kit

Or the coffee shop that won't heat a baby's bottle as "It's against health and safety!". No it's not!! It's just a crap excuse because some middle manager has decided that they might get sued if the parent scalds their child. This is one of the reasons I use my local garage. They let me an...

Re: home first aid kit

Featherstick. I agree that the HSE provide a good safety service for the workers. What I do not like is the constant interference from idiot safety officers who ban things because 1. they can, 2. they are incompetent Now my wife is Disabled and needs to use a loo when she needs to, and she carries ...

Re: home first aid kit

Having search for first aid training, it appears to have become a major business sector course average £250.00 pounds for a 3 day Heath and safety approved course. Bloody nanny state again. I made a resolution not to argue with people on the internet, but I can't help myself this time. What some pe...

Re: home first aid kit

Try and do some,by hook or by crook - through work, or as a volunteer or something. The manuals are much better than they used to be but you need to train. Not least because when there's a need for first aid you'll panic and forget what you've learned.

Re: Valuable Lesson from a 5 year old

A quiet word might be a good idea. A child in our school broke her arm in the playground. After 2 hours of her crying in class and the teacher telling her to be quiet, the school phoned her parents to come and collect her "as she is upsetting the other children". Parents took one look at s...
