Any Chefs out there will experience of copper pans who could help me answer this. Was just about to buy myself my first copper pan and had intended to get one with stainless-steel lining, this is intended to be used as a daily workhorse so the robustness of stainless against tin seemed like a good idea. However I am now…

Waterstones Double/Triple Points
Hi all, last year (and previous years) Waterstones offered their double/triple points promos on both May Bank Holiday weekends. The first May one didn’t happen this year so I’m wondering if there is one planned for the coming Bank Holiday weekend (25 - 27 May). Anyone in the know? I have a wish list of books I want to buy…

Copper frying pans
Are there any chefs out there who could suggest which decent quality copper pans to buy? Don't mind spending a bit as will probably only buy once in my lifetime. However have looked at Mauviel pans and they are so extremely expensive that I would be frightened to use them.

Comfortable slip-on trainers to wear without socks
Hello, for whatever reason I always seem to reach for my old ugly Crocs when heading out, and I’m after an alternative that looks a bit better. Have just seen the Literides and they’re really appealing because they seem to be the usual Croc material (ie super breathable and no fabric) but look a bit more like a regular…

Cheap distilled / deionised water - where to buy?
I'm looking for shops in the UK that sell inexpensive deionised / distilled water, if anyone has any recommendations? I used to buy mine from Wilko, and the only ones I can seem to find now are DIY chains selling Carplan, which is vastly overpriced. I've tried B+M, Poundland, Home Bargains (albeit a smaller town store) and…

Buying new rolexes
How does one go about buying a new Rolex? To buy Hermes' sought after bags, you need to wine and dine your personal sales rep, buy lower level products; belts, scarves shoes that kind of thing before they offer you a Birkin or a Kelly. How does it work with Rolexes? Is it easier to just fly to Switzerland and find a…

This is a bit of an open ended question, but my partner and I are in a place right now where we could put some money towards buying more expensive house/kitchen/garden items that are worth the investment and will last longer.

Ninja? or not?
The discount on Ninja shown this week looks very good, but! We have had 3 Ninja multicookers in the last 4 years, 2 packed up, the fan it seems, and one didnt work when it arrived so replaced.
