No one seems to have mentioned money, as in cash, it's all about public transport or handrails. Every time you handle coins or a note you are touching something that is covered in germs. 50 years ago my dad used to tell me to wash my hands after touching money, think of what people have done with their hands before handing you that change

Luckily I don't remember the last time I touched cash!No one seems to have mentioned money, as in cash, it's all about public transport or handrails.

I always get told off off my dad for never having cash and paying for everything on card. I’m glad I do now!

Cash is king for a small business like mine, credit/debit card charges by the provider really add to the overheads, but it is filthy.
What about the buttons on a card machine though? And all the touch screens which are now everywhere like the bank, mcdonalds, libraries, ticket machines, etc. etc. Bet they don't get cleaned, yuk.

Yes, merchant fees are a killer.
Most of my purchases are under $100 so I just tap my credit card and don't have to key in my pin.
I'm with you on touch screens though! Yuk!

I ike Cushelle (Not sure how to spell it!). I walk Rourke on a footpath over the fields which is off a private road, at the bottom of the road is a toilet roll company, well they have enormous rolls of paper which they probably send out to other firms to make into toilet rolls.

Naughty Meg(an) Sparkle likes to nudge the loo roll off the holder. If she does it while I am busy elsewhere, she will unroll it, chop it into lengths and put little teef-holes in it. She doesn't eat it though. I have to wrap the holey, damp paper back onto the roll and replace it. It's dry by the time I come home from work. This is becoming a very extravagant game.

Homer plays this game too. When I’m cleaning my Tarth he sneaks in behind me and knocks the roll off then takes it off for a quiet bit of shredding into toilet roll snowflakes.

I wonder if the Andrex puppy is based on a real dog then

It only it was unrollling that could be rolled back up rather than soggy slobbery chewed up 20p size pieces all over the carpet.I wonder if the Andrex puppy is based on a real dog then
Why oh why I didn't try cushelle loo roll years ago is beyond me. I do not follow brands but I kept on wasting money on andrex.
I have now got to get into the habit of only tearing off 1 or2 bits rather than 10, no exaggeration this packet of 9 loo rolls will last 3 times as long as andrex.
Don't tell anyone that I have benefited from the loo roll stockpile.

Every one of my Labs has had at least one 'Andrex Moment' as a puppy! They all grew out of it though.I wonder if the Andrex puppy is based on a real dog then
We just popped to Aldi. OH basically just wanted beer and was going to go to local shop, but I persuaded him to go further to save us going out tomorrow, just for a few things we needed, and to cook for Monty. OMG, the shelves are razed. Pretty much no tinned anything (including fruit, custard, evap milk) except for tinned fish. Lucky monty got the sardines. No pasta, rice or sauces. No eggs. very few toiletries.
Anyhoo, we just laughed. Until we got to the checkout. I had picked up six loose baking potatoes, these would maybe last a week- I always get these as there's no packaging and they are all purpose for roasting, jackets, sauteing, etc.
Just as the checkout lady started to scan our shopping the manager shouted across the store 'only four, bananas, potatoes'. And then the checkout lady took away two of my potatoes and said she could only sell me four single potatoes! This makes no sense - If I had bought a bag, there would have been at least 12-15 potatoes in there! And could I have bought four bags of potatoes?
We'll be shopping locally from now....

Where is everyone storing these tins & packets? We don't have the storage. The only thing we bulk buy is tonic! And that's stored in the loft. I'd hate to run out of tonic.
