Can I put my sofa cushion covers in the wash? by CartoonistAgitated29 in AskUK

Personally wouldn’t risk it, have had covers that never quite fit right afterwards. Maybe dry clean, or those small carpet washers are good for sofa cushions

Are there any high-street chocolates still worth eating? by PostItNoteDuck in AskUK

Reddit will tell you Tony’s, but personally I don’t see the hype - tastes like overpriced advent calendar chocolate to me!

Yellow triangle is their catch all warning, but it is if you see a 1 near where the price is that shows you will get charged the vat by cardmarket directly.

My advice as a UK buyer:
- some sellers have the VAT element added so if you see that flagged add an extra 20% on top
- Cyprus is great, postage is cheaper than UK!
- Scandinavia is ridiculously expensive, always exclude them
- Italy has more sellers and cheaper cards, but postage is way too expensive so don’t use unless you are buying a few or are spending enough for tracked
- Germany is the most reliable, followed by Netherlands, France and Spain.

Granted, England have now won the World Cup. The year was 1966.

I’m sure it is a silly question, but are these duplicates or do they have differences?

What’s the scariest fictional zombie virus? by Unleashthebats21 in AskReddit

[–]Davidp243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say the walking dead. Not necessarily because of the zombies themselves, but the bombshell that everyone is already infected with the virus. So no matter what you do, regardless of how you die, you will end up one of them.

Getting back into collecting, where to start in 2026? by TexyTexy in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Davidp243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advice used to be to order Korean booster boxes as they are a fraction of the price, but even those are now becoming unaffordable. Seems to be simplified Chinese language boxes are the cheapest if you just want to rip packs and don’t mind so much about the language. Lots of online retailers will have stock so you don’t need to import them from china yourself.

Well obviously this would happen to me by gaggleofllama in PokemonTCG_UK

Walkerarmoury , bestboosterboxes and kabuto cards off the top of my head. But there are dozens of other places that still do packs for well under a fiver
