Window cleaners - just why?
Having not had one in the last few decades, I’m still genuinely puzzled as to why people spend a fortune on regular window cleaning. I can assure you that our windows are every bit as clean as those of our neighbours, because the rain does all the work for free. Pay a window cleaner, and you’ll have sparkling clean windows…

Help - cooking supermarket pork chops.

Cooking wine or sherry recommendations requested
I want to experiment with added wine or sherry to some cooking. I don't drink so I don't have any bottles I could try. I understand that the cooking version of red wine and sherry contain preservatives so opened bottles keep longer. I wouldn't know the difference between different ones and don't know what would be a cheap…
