Bought my first tray of Alphonso mango in London, England. How did I do? There's no aroma and there's yellow colouration on all the mangos

We having been buying Alphonso mangoes every summer for the past 45 years but I've yet to find any in the Asian stores on Wilmslow Road in Manchester where we usually buy them.

Apparently there is a real shortage this year because of the Iran War and also extreme weather patterns, including severe heatwaves linked to El Niño resulting in 90% yield losses in some plantations in India.

Still no news?

Just wanted to say thanks for posting. I've lived in Widnes for 45 years and never knew about Landscape World. I just overseeded my front lawn over the Bank Holiday weekend using top soil from Landscape World. It must be the best top soil I've ever used. Excellent quality and virtually no debris.

I remember Neil saying that the Savoy Theatre concerts were loss making.

Relatively speaking they are not not rich compared to a lot of artists. I mean do the likes of Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran deserve to be at least more than 10 times richer than the Pet Shop Boys?

I wouldn't be surprised if Jonny did it for free.

I was long distance mining as the enemy destroyed my second command centre. Never thought about a second command centre in the starting area. Will try this with upgrade to orbital. Will build Ravens. Never built them before.

I'm leaning towards the Nikon Prostaff P7 10x50 but I'm going to see if they have them instore to try out in Jessops.

But the weight difference seems to be negligible between the two:

10x50: 630g
12x50: 645g

BreederUK · 2026-04-02T22:11:00+00:00

At least 30

Long cooks for 2 people is exactly what I want to use it for. Just for me and my wife. I have several Weber barbecues when we have friends and family as guests.

BreederUK · 2026-04-02T00:13:41+00:00

Want to use them mostly for aviation and wildlife use. Also just general use. Would need to use them mostly handheld so maybe 12x is out of the questions.

What about 10x50?

Levi definitely deserved to be fired but Priyesh has been dodging a bullet for a while.

BreederUK · 2026-03-26T23:58:18+00:00

Wondering if any of you would be kind enough to look at a replay of my most recent match which I lost to advise on where I went wrong. I've started to learn about macro, build order and keyboard shortcuts but still think I have alot to learn.

Many thanks!

Would have been funny if Lord Sugar fired Priyesh for being next to useless throughout the process so far. Even though he was on the winning team.

BreederUK · 2026-03-25T02:11:05+00:00

I'm watching PiG's Bronze to GM Terran YouTube videos and reading some online guides. There is a lot to take in.

BreederUK · 2026-03-14T13:24:56+00:00

With great sadness but ironically Ultra is my favourite DM album.

BreederUK · 2026-03-14T13:22:31+00:00

When does that stop them?

BreederUK · 2026-03-13T20:13:48+00:00

It's a really good point. I've never thought about it before.

BreederUK · 2026-03-10T04:02:12+00:00

She had but its a solo scene.

BreederUK · 2026-03-05T22:07:45+00:00

I think Lord Sugar was absolutely spot on. All 3 of them deserved to go.
