    He said they had quite a lot of them. My guess is that the nearby greengrocer wanted rid of them and the enterprising shop manager saw a way to make a few pennies. Very MSE methinks.

    Ahhhh I see. A charity shop with whoopsies :D
    That's actually not a bad idea....

    Have you got any WD40?
    I think that might work.... :think:

    Worst case I usually just file it off with an emery board but I have dry hard skin on my hands.

    I'm watching the apprentice final 5 from last night (I think they moved the program as it wasn't on when I expected :( )
    Am I the only person who thinks none of them deserve to win? :D

    Better check it's dry.
    I've heard of checking your palms for hair is the first sign of madness, but grass.... :D

    What makes me laugh is the 'bigging up' that they do in the introduction - says the initial 16 contestants are the best of Britains business brains. All I can say is God help the rest of us - no wonder British economy is on its knees.

    A while back I ordered some plants from Thompson & Morgan but they never arrived. I then emailed them and still no reply after 3 weeks :mad: so tried their FB page ;) Had a reply within a few hours :D
    Anyway, they reckon the plants were sent out months ago and don't have any left now. So they've recredited the voucher I used and refunded the difference :)

    Today I got an email saying they have free delivery until midnight. As the new voucher is a gift voucher I can stack it :T So ordered 72 winter pansy plugs for £2.99 delivered :D
