That's why VAT is an iniquitous tax.

mind your own biz!

If it's any consolation.... a lot of us feel the same.

AFAIK my GP practice still only doing telemedicine calls.

So who is still on the regular testing regime now that there have been no new cases for the last 48 days? I'd be more interested to know how many positive & negative antibody tests there have been so far.

Drove past the grandstand somewhere between 11:30 & 12:00 today and noticed about a dozen cars queuing up at the C-19 testing station which appeared to be fully manned. Are we witnessing another outbreak?

Actually, the reason why I'm considering the move is that I already use a cafetiere and find that I end up having to make more than I need because as you get further down the pot the less refined and more gritty it is. I've tried various cafetiere over the last few years and none of them 'filter' like a pod does. But the disposable pods are eco-challenging, I think. Are they really recyclable? So the next step is looking at reusable stainless steel pods. Does anyone have any experience with that type? Thanks for your comments so far.

There's a lot to be said for chains, a big rock and a small hammer!

I think you underestimate Fr. Dougal.

I've been considering buying one of those machines that uses pods, instead of making it in a cafetiere. So I'm looking for some advice/suggestions on what type to get without spending a fortune. For example, are the metal & plastic pods truly recyclable? Can you taste the metal? My consumption is 2 x mugs from when I get into the office until lunchtime, so I'm not sure if I would count as a big consumer or not. Thoughts, anyone?

Teapot, what happened to your home brew?
