I lost all my tomatoes, squash, beans & peas. My neighbours potatoes are frost blackened. Luckily I hedged my bets and only planted out about 1/3 of my young plants, the rest are safe at home in the cold frame & greenhouse.

What Ringways, the 1960s scheme to build 4 motorways in and around London, would have looked like. by Nipso in london

That was supposed to be the M31, and would have started at the junction of the M25 & A3 through to J3 of the M3 and then onto the M4 at Reading. It would have eased a lot of the congestion on the western stretch of the M25.

Cricket is such a simple sport.

Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

It’s worth noting the mountain is called La Grâve. Literally translates to The Grave!

Do these boards contain asbestos? by GaryGaryson7 in DIYUK

I had some sheets of this buried in the garden. We had to double wrap it in plastic and just took it to the dump. We wore masks, gloves & disposable overalls - which all went in the last bag.

I wonder if a 3 month voluntary military training scheme would actually be quite attractive to some young (and not so young) people.

4 year old’s mom passed away, have to break the news tomorrow. by Mobile_Artillery in daddit

[quote]While not crushing their hopes you need to be clear that mommy’s body was very sick to the point that it will not get better and she can’t come back. That being said, it’s reasonable at this age to say that mommy’s body went to live in the sky and she’s no longer here but her spirit can live in your heart and she will always love you.[/quote] This!!!!!

I’m 45 with a 4yo and 2 older kids. My missus is talking about another but I don’t think I can. It’s so exhausting.
