Here's what final (ish) version came out like. Works like a dream, smooth and simple. The line will need retensioning in a week or so, I should think, as it gets stretched....
We’ve adjusted our mobiles through the *61* system to ring for 30 seconds on incoming.

Already seeing their share price soar, Ocado want MORE. In previous years, they upped the minimum basket price at Christmas from £40 to £90. Fair enough. THIS year they’ve upped the delivery charge...
Glancing at Westerns on TV, sometimes they show lone horsemen (rarely women) failing to keep up with six-horse stagecoaches, or even light wagons pulled by a couple of horses. What’s the truth of...
When I fry I try and keep my cooker clean by tearing four sheets of cooking foil, placing them on the hob so that there is a hole in the middle for the flame to get to the pan, and carry on. Life...
Mrs A has a 3” raised toilet seat as otherwise she can’t get up. Today she got stuck on a lowish chair, same problem. Where can I get a hard cushion-type thing - not for sitting on for long periods,...
Just discovered that come Oct 2021 our car will get a £12.50 per day charge as part of the new London Emissions regulations. What needs bolting on to our stanard petrol Nissan to make it compliant? A...

I tend to resort to Gorilla Tape these days - but does anyone have a trick for separating the backing sheet from the sticky bit of the tape? I work away with a scalpel (I know, but I haven't skewered...
