It's a VAT fiddle. Appliances you buy are liable to VAT, ones the builder
buys for a new build are zero rated.

The BBC news was full of pictures of 400 year old oak trees lying on top
of houses, cars crushed by trees... followed by a picture of a suburban
garden with a single 6 foot fence panel lying down. There seemed to be
something incongruous in that.

Sunny Delight? Is that still going? I thought after the Yellow Child
of North Wales incident that it had gone the same way as Dasani water
but I've answered the question myself because Google tells me that it
is still on sale in Tesco.

Good news: UK SunnyD (as it is now known) may now contain as much as
15% fruit juice although the US version still only contains about 2%.
Thank you, Wikipedia.

Yet now you'll be hearing it all day in your head.

I want to hear a version where when the last wheel comes off the
Cherokee catch up with it and say ""Look, we've picked up all your
wheels for you," put them back on the wagon, grease everything with
buffalo tallow and bind the axles with rawhide thongs, then escort the
settlers across the plain to the hidden cave for a feast and s pipe of
peace.

That sounds way more like late night adult entertainment. Junior Choice
(or Children's Choice) would be more appropriate for children.

Two Way & Three Way Family Favourites was standard Sunday lunchtime fodder
in our ‘ouse, then in the 1980’s I met Jean Challis as she came to my
studio to make some voice recordings for a British / Australian educational
series I was recording to be transferred to cards; they had a groove
embossed into each end of the printed card and the ‘records’ played in a
hand help record player. Jean was chosen along with a few other known
voices as they were familiar voices to radio audiences in both countries.

Issue a fine for driving a wagon in poor repair, and failing to stop
when instructed to do so by a highway patrol.
