Indeed Sir, Lime Rangur, 2 cubes, two slice lime, a squeeze of lime and a Schweppes full fat Tonic mixer. Glasses are old skool thick Ameican Coke style and prefrozen overnight.A sublime drink! :twisted:
Waste not want not, the cubes go forward to No2 drink.

To get back on topic even slightly. The second toilet upstairs has had the cider vinegar :roll: treatment and is also 👌. I think it was about a £ for 750ml. Significantly cheaper than the previous attempts to rectify and one I'll keep as a 'Dad' strategy to pull out the hat and impress the kids. ;)

Technical Question. Bit Off Topic.
We have 6 toilets in the house.
Two of us and two pussy cats live here.
Why does the one used mostly by Me
Have a lot more limescale than others.
Some that don't get used at all don't get any build up at all.
Should I convert from Lager to Guinness :(
