What's happened to the Rand sale day? Could have sworn it was listed on T‘s site as October?
 
Maybe worth making clear to beginners that those 'old style' cut comb containers and the 'insulated quilts' are … umm … not bargains.

However, the stainless double strainers are indeed a bit of a bargain.
I've also found it useful to have a couple of those £5 smocks. Handy for visitors!
 
Someone selling a Dbl Strainer same as T's for £39 on flea bay :eek::eek:

"A few of the containers may have ill fitting lids or tiny holes. They should be tested with water first" !!
