Re: Problem with Lounge Furniture

Thank you to the few people that answered my problem.
Does every shop have to have a complaints book and if I ask for it have they got to give it to me by law.

Re: Bee-keeping and honey

I too am thinking of keeping bees in the UK. I have bought a book called Beekeeping for Dummies.
It is one of the series of books that you can get like Widows for dummies/Excel for dummies etc.
It is so easy to read and well illustrated. I can recommend it.

Re: Stray Dog

Just an update on the small dog.
Alan from the refuge has emailed me to say the little dog has now had an operation to straighten her leg. This has gone fine and she is now back at the refuge waiting for a new home. She is so lovely and friendly and will make a lovely pet for a new owner.

On checking the leg it had healed and didnt seem to be giving the dog any pain. We left it there, went out for an hour, ca...
