I want a smaller, greener car
Something preferably still with 5 doors (although not essential, but I have 2 daughters), but a smaller engine so that I pay the minimum Road Tax and emits less CO2.

More Heat Less Power
Whilst I accept the weather over the past ten years has been a bit warmer than normal I cannot accept that it is man man. Frankly and without wishing to upset people I find it a little arrogant that mankind believes it has the 'power' to alter the global ecosystem for thousands of years to come. I'm more in favour of the…

Algae on paths
I'm looking for something that I can remove algae/lichen from a slab path with. I don't want to use chemicals, as it goes right through my veggie patch, and I'd rather not have to use a pressure washer.

On the back of our semi's, my neighbour takes the rainwater (and his goes straight down the drain). We've recently had new guttering and a…
