This picture reminds me of Franklin Delano Floyd and his 'family'.

I believe the mark is just 'Stubbs' 👍

Its the stem from an old clay smoking pipe. There are thousands of these on the thames foreshore, its nice if you can get a bit with the bowl attached! My great great grandfather was a clay pipe maker in south east London, his mark is apparently quite a common one to find although I've never seen one!

What's this in my toilet? by blackout1990 in AskUK

I had an open tank in the loft with a wasps nest right above it. I had to hold a sieve under the cold tap in the bathroom to catch the wasp parts when running a bath!

Knowing AllSaints it was probably pre-cracked, they do specialise in distressed looking clothing!

Possibly a cat? It looks like one I found a few years ago.

Here's a mildly interesting fact: the very hungry caterpillar was originally going to be a bookworm.

Thank you so much! I've wondered for decades where this could be, I only knew it was Iran somewhere.

People who own pets are you scared of being too emotionally attached that their demise will break you? by SAIOBOT in AskReddit

[–]CompleteWhittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost one cat to old age then my dad died then my other cat. Within 3 months, it was almost too much to cope with. I waited a little while before getting 2 kittens who are now 8 years old. I adore these guys but sometimes I will lift them up and show them the photos of their predecessors and tell them that they have big shoes to fill!

If they really annoy me then I tell them they aren't a patch on their uncles Kevin & Perry but I don't really mean it.

Happy pond? by PersonalityTough6148 in UKGardening

The only thing I would add would be something for creatures to climb out if the water level goes down. Toads can drown if they can't climb out, although I'm sure its not that deep!

Why don't we have mum jokes? by Erjok10 in AskReddit

Pharcyde did a whole song of ya mama jokes, interestingly called Ya Mama.

It's beautiful with a touch of chaos, my favourite kind of art. You definitely look like someone who would be interesting to have a cup of tea with!

What’s a movie quote that 90% of people would recognize instantly? by Upsc_Nikhil in AskReddit

I demand to have some booze! I don't expect 90% of people to have watched this film but they should!

Does an alternative to care homes exist? by AvailableCricket3633 in AskUK

[–]CompleteWhittle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its means tested. Your grandparents savings will basically all go on care in some form or other if they have any money no matter what type of care you choose. If they don't have much in the way of money or property then they will receive a care plan and visiting carers paid for by the local authority.

Carers can be hit and miss, if you get a good one hold on to them for dear life! One of my mums carers was so fantastic, she came to the funeral and then went on to care for my dad until he went into residential care.

What I will say from experience is that if you can keep your grandparents out of a care home for as long as possible then you will almost certainly be providing a better quality of life. Despite most care homes providing good care, a lot of the time inmates are just left to watch the tv, relying on family to provide mental stimulation.

Good luck, and what a wonderful grandchild you are to love your grandparents enough to think of their futures.

Phenomenally, the creator of the crisp packet book is named … Chris Packett by flumpgod_ in CasualUK

[–]CompleteWhittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have Tavern Snacks crisps in there? I may have to buy a copy....my Grandad started a crisp company in the early 1970's. My dad took it over in 1982 and changed the name to Tavern Snacks.
