I had a go at growing tobacco as well. Blimey :shock: Well, I saw it being grown commercially in Zimbabwe (taking a week before planting to poison the soil to avoid competition from weeds) and I saw a few plants (much, much healthier :D ) being grown at the Eden Project in Cornwall. But that's a lo...

Welcome to the forum! My word, that's a lot you've already got under your belt. Hope you find your time here useful.

Welcome Jimmy! You've got lots of experience and skills, and it's obvious you want to stretch your wings, that's great. Makes the whole family a lot safer, even if they don't agree!

Welcome to the forum! What aspect are you thinking of researching/working on?

This morning the motorway average is 192.0p a litre against 173.9p on ordinary forecourts. That is a premium of 18.1p, or £9.05 on a 50 litre ...

Oh Lil! You poor thing that sounds absolutely horrible. What a time for it to happen as well, when you've just had a big delivery. Grrr.

Welcome to the forum, James. Sounds like you've been working on some really important areas. And yes, at this time of year, heating is becoming more and more important. My heating has broken down, for instance :shock: I need to work on that. I do have two or three backups: the oven, a convector heat...
