    Couldn't the wind that was blowing the flag in the original Moon Landing films have blown it over, and covered everything with dust?

    I assume that was a joke so doesn't need an answer?

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    No it was a conspiracy theory, but it still doesn't need an answer ;)
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    I haven't used a Sainsbury's Petrol Station for some time now as I no longer live near one however somewhere on their pumps there'll be a Trading Standards sticker from the testing they carry out.

    I used one yesterday but someone had already stolen the OP's 12p, can I complain to trading standards?
