Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

Prices?
Thought we would get an ice-cream and have a stroll by river in lovely weather.

£3.25 for cone with one dollop of ice cream not even a flake!

Next time stroll minus ice cream.

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

Potato are 2kg bags.
Other store prices 1kg £2.99, 2kg £4.99 & £5.49.
Suspect trade is not good as not as many on display as in the past.

Post & packaging is a killer for spuds.

Was looking for sweet potato slips and got p&p cost of £19.

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

I think you will be in for a very pleasant surprise for the cataracts, mine were done at a private health centre ( NHS funded) super efficient. The second eye was done without the assessment/checks that were done for first eye approx 2 months later.

Re: Einhell mower

If your experience is like mine then I think you will enjoy it, have you got the 18v or 36v version?

Einhell are making a lot of good garden equipment which makes it possible to use on the plot, used to be a Bosch but now gone over to Einhell.

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

Fortunately not many adverts for me here or elsewhere probably because I use duckduckgo with all the protections on.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.

Out with the dog and a solitary goose was flying west to east 5 mins later the bulk of them were flying in opposite direction east to west.

Wonder if the solitary goose thought "I just arrived a everyone decides to clear off for breakfast."

Re: Einhell Tiller

Don't Einhell have 2 year guarantee? I use einhell shredder, strimmer, edger and pruning shears on the plot and lawnmower at home. Having a pair of 4amp & 5.2 amp batteries is the key to getting best use out of the tools especially on the plot where there is no mains power. They are my preferred...
