I have two white chickens, one lays brown eggs and one lays blue.

Peugeot E-2008. £351 per year. Up from £300 the year before.

Why do people increasingly refer to a club's "fanbase" rather that its "fans"? According to Google the trend started in 1993, so during the first year of the Premier League. Is it part of corporate jargon - analogous to "customer base" or is it something different? I can't think of any...

For a very dry style, the Tingleup Riesling from Tesco which I mentioned earlier is very good. Usually £11.00 but goes below £10.00 on offer. For a medium dry wine, the Grey Slate Dr L Riesling in Waitrose is pretty good for a tenner. Push the boat out a bit further and you can get Cave de...

Not ignorance at all - it is a complicated area! Most people probably think of Riesling as being sweet. It is one of the great missed opportunities of the wine trade that there isn't a standardised way to show sweetness on labels which leads to lots of people not trying wines that they would...

Riesling is made in a wide range of sweetness levels. Some are very sweet and luscious, some are bone dry with lip-smacking acidity. If you like dry wines, try Tesco Finest Tingleup Riesling. It is made in Australia by the very reputable Howard Park winery. Usually £11.00 so a real steal when...

The houses in the pictures are made almost entirely from wood and plasterboard - 90% of houses in the US have wooden frames. You occasionally see the remains of brick-built chimney stack but apart from that, everything burns and wooden framed houses burn more easily than trees.

Nothing wrong with gotten! As Shakespeare wrote in Richard III, with remarkable relevancy to the Harry & Meg's card, "With much ado at length have gotten leave, To look upon my sometimes royal master’s face." Are you equally upset by the use of forgotten?

On Saturday evening a DPD delivery driver rang our doorbell and tried to deliver a parcel. We told him that it wasn't for us but for a business about 100 metres down the road. He pretended (?) not to understand and still tried to leave the parcel but we refused it. We run a B&B and as he was...

Another £100 for me today. £9,000 holding. That's £425 for the year with an average holding of £7,500 over the year.
