This was discussed when we had that Williams F1 visit - it's also slightly less draggy - though we're talking a very small difference.  The main reason for matt paint is so the sponsors' logos show up well during floodlit night races.

You win !

I only got 12 when I stopped off on my way home a little earlier

I go in every week and on Saturday had a fistful of offer vouchers in the post, of which I was able to use just one at the till today !

We mostly shop at Tesco and if we do go to Sainsbury's we often forget the nectar card, which is fine because nectar points are pretty rubbish these days.

What a handsome wee guy!

(Did you have any issues uploading the pic Bob? I had a warning from my AV program last night about the uploader)

Without a doubt, we couldn't be without him now. We're very lucky, he doesn't bark, is happy to be left in the house alone (we have a camera so we can monitor him), but also loves a car ride and will come with us whenever we can take him. It's his first dog show this weekend and he'll be starting gundog training soon. 

I didn't have any difficulty uploading the pics.

Handsome boy. Our inlaws (as in sis & bruv) have recently got a black Schnauzer pup. As our dog is soon to be 11 I'd forgotten what fun they were. Can't wait to get another, but have to wait because this little toerag is the jealous type and takes an instant dislike to any pups we meet on a walk.


Anyhow, back to my reason for visiting; I just looked at my Netflix account to see when it will change to normal HD, as I'm still getting 4K and noticed this section called recent activity. This basically breaks down your account into the devices used and where and when they were used. There was a weird one that said I watched Netflix on my phone in somewhere called Knowsley. This turns out to be in Merseyside, somewhere I've never been, nor have any desire to. Must be a glitch in the Matrix.

Not very good if they're mixing up people's account details.

A colleasgue ordered a new strap for her watch from Amazon - it came in a package about the size of a full-size iPad!! 

What happened to "Save the trees" eh? 

I do wonder what the enviromental impact of internet shopping is v the old fashioned ways and when somebody might raise it. Buy on line = packaging (a lot of which is single use plastic like bubbble wrap), van miles etc.

Our recycling is two major things - plastic that food stuffs come in and boxes that all the internet stuff we order comes in (the bubble wrap has to go in the bin).

We should make more use of these items. There was a program to produce playground mats some years ago but not heard anything of that for a while.

Our council has started allowing bubble wrap etc.

You can get the flexible PV cells for a lot of things from rucksacks to laptop bags.

You'd need exactly the same recycling facilities in every region for that - otherwise you'd end up transporting a lot of materials up and down the country, negating the benefit.
