I'd have thought the malt extract that was packed later in the year would have a later bbe date than the one packed earlier. A labeling typo or MM or their bulk supplier came across a bag in the back of the warehouse? 🤔 Toyah Wilcox strikes again!

Speaking to BBC 5 Live Breakfast, Headlam (A financial advisor) explains what the latest figures mean: “Stuff is still 4% more expensive than it might have been and twice as expensive as the bank’s target of 2% inflation.” So if STUFF was £100 at 4% inflation it would now be £104. If it was at...

Hi all, today I brewed my Hoppy new beer '24. Decided to do a hop tea. Boiled some water and dumped 100g of Chinook(13% AA). Left it for 40 mins. I did a quick search n Google about how many ibu's this would add but didn't come up with an exact answer. I did come across a paper that shows hop...

Hi all , after reading this article I thought it would be good to hear your take on it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66990302 My understanding was that as a car owner you could only be allowed 15 mins to pass though a zone in a city or be fined. However it's reported that it refers...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66543302 I found it interesting that one of the reasons given was new 20mph limits. Whilst that is a third slower than 30mph I didn't think it would make that much of an impact because picking up passengers is the factor that slows a journey more surely and...

Via a combination of the calculator links on the website and welsh water composition, I'm ready to do my first water treatment. I stand corrected when I said on a previous post they must have changed over to chloramine as I was getting a thin film on the top of a cup of tea. Apologies for...

Hi all, I decided to spend my personal injury payout (I was run over from the left on a mini roundabout in 2020) to replace my worn out dawes sonoran - the first bike paid for by my claim. At the time all I wanted was an equivalent replacement for my voyager 200. However despite direct line...
