    We go to Hampton Court Flower Show in normal years, it's an easy drive with parking in the grounds for £10 which is good value these days. It is a nicer location and show than Chelsea in my opinion.

      £10 to park!!!! :yikes:

      So gone are the days when I could get a full week board and lodging at The Swan in Thornthwaite for 50/- :doh:. Maybe my holiday price book is out of date. :sad:

        I can relate to this. I once had our IT guy visit our office as my computer wasn’t working properly. It turned out it was because my keyboard was full of toast crumbs from me breakfasting over it every morning. At least I had the decency to feel embarrassed

          Seems O.K. to me, but my holiday price book may also be out of date as they seem far too expensive these days, but taking your own veg on hols cuts down on food bills :thumbsup:

              @Nikolaos I think someone conned you with that picture as the writing is a very poor attempt at Aramaic. :whistle: :heehee:

                Your book must be a very modern version of my holiday and travel book :)

                  I think I tried that a few years ago, a bit too sweet and I couldn't walk after five shots of it! :biggrin:

                    Have you tried using an old toothbrush @pete? Dental floss won't work though. :biggrin:

                    When I changed from desk top to lap top years ago I couldn't get on with a mouse so use the pad. The only problem I have with that is the fact it's smooth, black and integral to the keyboard face so I can't see the scroll bar on it's right, I've stuck a small sticky label at the top of it.

                      There are quite handy air aerosols that blast the crumbs away. However, Cleaning Slime looks seriously fun, I'm most tempted. It even comes in different colours! :biggrin:

                          Just a thought, if I leave my laptop outside all night, will the slugs and snails come along and eat all the food debris in my keyboard.
                          Just thought of this because of the slime idea. :biggrin:

                            I have ordered some from China as I don't use Amazon UK anymore so it will take 3-4 weeks for me to get it. Thank you @Selleri

                              One of our sons uses the slime and says it's very good and it's horrifying to see the amount of muck it removes!! :yikes:
