    I think it may be full fat milk. On that subject I would love to have a small cold glass bottle of silver topped milk with all that cream at the top. Was it Thatcher who stopped that???

    We used to get that at school, with a straw pierced through the silver top, but they always used to leave it near the radiators so it was unpleasantly warm.. was very ill one day after school milk :o

    Thanks for that. Will actually research beforehand rather than panicking a couple of days before MOT due date. :rolleyes: Fingers crossed no drama this time, kicking the car and swearing is not a good look. :eek:

    Boris, it only gets worse. Wait until you start arguing with OH about how much time you spend on here.

    lets think this one thru.........

    We'll we'd need a seperate discussion thread just for book swaps and everyone registers thier interest (maybe even gets a number?). We can then either;

    a) list what type of books we like (on the first post where there will be a list of registered people) so that people with that genre can offer up a random book or a certain title.
    b) Post what book we are looking for and see who has it
    c) take pot luck and get a book off someone!

    We either then leave that people post when they are ready to swap, or we conduct a mass-swap once a month on the same day where everyone posts the next book to the next person on the list?????

    EDIT - Or everyone posts the title of the book they have to swap and then send it to whoever asks for it first (or whoever offers up a book of interest the send back).
