    Cleaning a Norgie

    You could maybe try using a pressure washer fairly close up? Water jets can cut concrete and metal so maybe a domestic pressure washer could handle cofftea? Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    What do you not eat that therefore makes you "weird"?

    Baked beans - fine. Refried beans - what the heck did this used to be?? It's not that I dislike the taste, but I don't much like them either.... Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Proper wool blanket

    Otterburn mill doesn't produce anything any more, it's just a shop selling craghoppers and wired fish clothing and some wool blankets that iirc were NOT locally manufactured Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    What do you not eat that therefore makes you "weird"?

    Citizen Band Radio for Expedition

    In the UK cb radios are now licence exempt. Check with Norway. There are two cb band plans - UK and EU. EU channels should not be used in the UK and vice versa. Getting a multi standard 80 channel cb (40 uk, 40 EU) would be a good bet and not too expensive. Much better range then pmr. Due to...
