    Polish curtain tracks, the curtains slide much easier. You can also use it on the tracks for caravan awnings

    How does the country the curtain track was made in make any difference?

    I would have seen the joke as well Stephen Leak. I love verbal humour, whether written or in print!

    Thanks to Ice for typing out all those useful tips but in the spirit of the thread, can we keep to weird and funny tips please? If we all put normal but useful tips in this thread it would'nt be as entertaining to read. Not meaning to be critical but my intention was for this to be a light hearted thread. Hope thats OK...

    I've found another couple of odd ones to keep the ball rolling...

    You'll be safer when biking if you wear pink. The expert say neon pink is the colour motorists can see most easily....

    and

    If you tend to get carsick or seasick when you travel, tape an aspirin in your navel. Does it relieve the nausea? Some say it does. At least it won't make you drowsy....
