No she is a scientist, does forensic work too. Appears on the tv occasionally presenting archeology programs

Aye she is on the tele at the moment presenting archeology programs I was watching her the other night.

As opposed to the classic I found when rummaging around in one of the 'junk' areas in an old abandoned room in work.
The beautiful song 'Sierra' by Boz Scaggs.
Some Change, track 6.

It's a feature of some Victorian Knockers ... gives a three tone bang.

Scary increase ... I had to buy a 2400 x 600 length of 22mm chipboard flooring to replace a section in the bathroom ... I could not find any 22mm anywhere and eventually bought 18mm ... £21 !! The last piece I bought before Covid was £13 ... Someone is taking advantage of the shortages to jack the prices up.

Pre kung-flu a c16 timber was £2.20. I could make 2 stands from 5 bits. So £5.50 of wood per stand.

Post Cantaneese cough its £7.5 per timber, so now £18.75 per stand! - 5% inflation, yeah right.

I am renovating a house at the moment, so have been watching lots of DIY stuff on youtube. It seems to be the same story in the USA, Canada and Australia.

And the screw section looks like the supermarket shelves when panic buying was in full swing.

I will be looking into using recycled palit wood or other salvaged timber as much as possible in the future.

Anyway, I should keep this one short, or it could quickly turn into 4 pages of me ragging about price hikes.

Wood, copper pipe, wire, electronic components...........

Exactly the same as an old fashioned hand held nutcracker

Or this one

It's a nightmare, the cost of the cedar I buy has spiralled from £17 to £18 per cu ft!

Ah. I see you added the measurement after my reply. Thank you
