    Cashless pub.

    I run a small business. Should a customer pay cash, I have to drive to my bank, now a 30 mile return drive, pay in, which costs me £0.95 plus a further £0.25%. A transfer costs me nothing and is instant credit. I no longer accept cash

    Re-using yeast from current brew

    I have been using some 013 London yeast which was given to me in the days of Covid. I use it whenever I brew my bitter beers. I treat it the same as above, put some good spoonfuls in a Kilner jar and keep in the fridge and warm it to 20C the morning of the next brew.

    Chip pan.

    You have not had roasted potatoes unless you have tasted them parboiled then roasted in lard. Fried eggs cooked in beef dripping. Matzo balls with shmaltz (chicken fat). And my favorite breakfast as a child, dripping on toast. And, yes, few were obese in the 1950s.

    Klarstein fermenter - anybody using?

    Good solidly made. The airlock makes it too tall for one of my fermenting fridges, but if you are aware of this it is not a problem. I would buy again.

    Entire UK facing gales and downpours as Storm Isha blows in

    Until WW2 the US inch was smaller. They came together in the war presumably to help our war effort, as in the Pacard built Merlin engine.

    Removing chlorine from tap water.

    I live in Middlewich, Cheshire. The tapwater is undrinkable because of the Chlorine/Chloramide stench. it is pervasive even in a hot shower! A sodium metabisu;phate tablet the evening before fixes it.

    Jeez scary or what

    When I were a lad I rode fixed wheel for many miles. As both shoes are strapped in to the pedals you do have effective “brakes” but I admit this was on the track at White City. Smiley face.

    Do you remember.

    I still have a Weston Master IV in working order, I use it with my Leica M3. I make a point to use a couple of films per year just to remember the magic of the photo appearing on the paper as it develops.

    Best opening song lyrics.

    Face piles and piles of trials with smiles, for it riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. the Moody Blues, on the Threshold of a Dream.
