I today found it difficult to locate the latest Azed 2494 threads. If it becomes standard to title the OP Azed xxxx (i.e. a space between Azed and the number) then it would overcome this problem. I'll...
New Lidl opens tomorrow at 7 am here in Twickenham. People already arrived to camp out in the car park. I'm not surprised, but very sad at the shameless selfishness of some people. We are in an...
Manual clippers with wooden handles that slip over the metal tangs on the blades, and are supposed to stay on but have recently both become detached. Is there some sort of compound I could shove into...
