My father was 'the man from the Prudential' - collecting cash monthly from homes that had insurance and assurance policies.
Had to count the cash and was expert in base 12 counting.

Re: Friday Jokes
My earliest recollection of eggs is of a soft-boiled egg turned-out of its shell and mashed-up with a fork and called chuckelorum.
I don't know whether this was done to overcome earlier refusal or simply to aid digestion.

Having announced that CO2 is needed to stun pigs before slaughter, farmers have said that without supplies of CO2 they will be forced to slaughter their pigs.

Re: WWII sites
Some years ago I carried out vehicle brake tests on a commercial vehicle (medium range truck) using the hills of the Obersalzberg region around Berchtesgaden.

Re: French Knickers in a twist!
I bought a high-mileage Peugeot that had been a rep's car - regularly serviced at no expense spared. It was 'top of the line' with every desirable accessory and served me faultlessly for more than 100,000 miles over a dozen years. I reasoned that the high mileage of the vehicle achieved by the previ...

Was the course predetermined? It seems strange that the route was from east the west and started from Brussels.
I see that the race is still held over a century on!

I watch the videos of Matt Winder of Offroad recovery in Utah.
Where he recovers, the sand-dunes are considerable in height and depth and there seems no limit to the volume of sand.

I believe that cheese requires significant quantities of salt (added to the curds) to complete the process. Salt is very important in cheesemaking, for as well as helping add to the flavour of cheese, it also controls the bacteria that grow inside the cheese, helps with texture development, regulate...
