My mum grew up on one, pretty decent semi detached for the day, I would say more internal space than the private houses round here. My grandparents had saved up for a mortgage but defaulted during the depression so lost the house so they had to move into Council, so did my dad after demob, went...

I did not start wearing glasses till I was fourteen, that did not mean I was not far sighted then just that my youthful muscles were more able to adjust for it, every decade since then the prescription has got stronger and stronger, but at my last eye test in spite of having cataracts my vision...

In my experience most people do not have the tools they need to hand when they want them, that is where the SAK comes in, SAK to the rescue. I confess I have not used one for at least a couple of hours to trim a split nail.

I would say that one aspect of being a sincere prepper would be being prepared for the consequences of the lack of preparedness of everybody else and to be prepared for the probability that other preppers are targeting each other in a dog eat dog race for survival. Whatever, we can't all be Stig...

I think it was a positive point that they considered the possibility because there have been a lot of miscarriages of justice regarding autistic peoples encounters with the police, however they clearly mishandled it anyway. I would refer you to Chloe Hocking's thesis "The Experiences of Autistic...

The article did "“They started asking questions, like if I was autistic or anything like that, asking me whether I’d ever been in the army, whether I told people I was in the army,” he said."

oo er missus, I walked right into that one :)

I suppose, being a lay person in such matters, that a case could be made out that openly carrying a blade even if you have a lawful reason, could be interpreted as flaunting it in an intimidating or threatening way. Once again it is all down to the persons manner when they are confronted.

I do have some experience with the police and autism in that I was part of a team assisting the Nottinghamshire Police with their enquiries when they were setting up their new custody suite and procedures. During one of our meetings we had pizza delivered, nobody blinked an eyelid when I pulled...

I am a flat dweller though, I would have to go all the way over to my allotment for a pony and trap.

I do wonder considering the number of really lightweight tents out there, what is the attraction of a bivi, it is not the weight for sure. I suppose it is less bother than a tent.

I have just looked at the photo, the shirt looks quite hippy, but below the waist he does look a little bit tacticool. Just looked at the Hori Hori on line (I am probably a terrorist for doing that) and I would be miffed if the cops took it from me considering the price of the thing. However it...

If you have a car you effectively have electricity, when I am camping I don't need anything else, it is enough to keep my phone and any other USB gadgets charged. In future when all cars are electric you will have a complete back up power supply there. I think the biggest problem in the long...

That was my co-op for a while, but I survived. It is when they run out of Henry Weston's that I worry.

Took an axe to the allotment yesterday, and I was wearing camo shorts. If the police had have questioned me, I could show them the pile of wood. If I keep my tools in a bag there is no likelihood of them being seen by anybody, just common sense.

Granted that it has been described as the most misunderstood poem of all time, but I am of the school that it is the reader who makes the meaning and not the poet, and that makes all the difference:) Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler...

There was a young lady of Ealing, who had a peculiar feeling ....

Oh yeah, Ozzy is part of my youth alright. Ozzy was an ordinary lad from up the road in Brum who done good, nothing remotely pretentious about him or the rest of the band. He lived for the final concert and gave it his all.

I've got both, a Kelly Kettle and a Ghillie Kettle, they are both different sizes so not a replacement for each other. The Kelly Kettle lives on my allotment and the Ghillie Kettle lives in my car, basically the ability for a quick brew on the go anywhere.
