As one who seldom adds salt to his food I ask how much I could expect to get for a second hand plastic salt cellar as against a silver 'salt' (one needs a glass lining for a silver 'salt' else the corrosion soon takes over).
I might try the duct tape. I don't think I need the jealous little conservation gnome's permission for that.

I always found stuffing a load of rolled up newspaper into the crack very effective in such situations however it must be stated not every lady will enjoy the experience.
For a more durable repair I suggest Chockfast (red) mixed with fibreglass resin and liberal application of sheep sh1t and watergrass is quite efficacious.

I think that Mr V may be planning to open the doors again in more clement weather.
Sealing down to NBC citadel status may not be desirable. Gaffer tape or even sellotape is good for the job but does tend to leave an adhesive residue - from experience.

We, here in Oz, have some spray stuff call 'OOMPH' specially to remove adhesive residues.
Bottle recipe says 'Hydrocarbons 414g/L, Diethylene glycol butyl ethyl 166g/L' for the chemists out there. Works well!

ML has put his finger on another feature of Crittall. Indeed I would have liked to use this 'draught includer' to offer access to the garden for the taking of pre- and post prandial refreshments. However some form of metal warp has occurred and it neither opens nor properly closes. At least that makes it burglar proof (unless for particularly skinny miscreants).
(Sounds delicious YM, what is normally taken with it?)

So access to the croquet pitch is now problematic.

No. I have more than one door and none of the others are Crittall.
(Lawn, philistine, lawn. Pitch is for caulking).

In my world more than one door means two.

We agree as to what makes a set however there may be many members of a set.
Including the French window I have three external ones downstairs but three more of the Crittall bastards up. I suppose one might consider it a set of three sets: Crittal; external; internal. Or maybe even seven if we have the bog doors, fridge doors and cupboard doors in ones of their own.

Anymore of this loose talk, YM, and you're in danger of being re-classified as a Clown. Pinch of salt indeed, some of your comments are saltier than Lot's wife's arse.

The greenhouse is fine. The family think more of the grape vine than me.
A caravan! From the inclemently cool to the cryogenic. Would be a good idea except that someone is suing KM for professional negligence (sometimes I would have him for bad taste). You are all kind (usually), but that end can be achieved by the other means.

YM I think you have some explaining to do.
One of Warne’s close friends – Sporting News chief executive Tom Hall who went on holiday to Thailand with the cricketing great – revealed Warne enjoyed a very Australian last meal, wolfing down Vegemite toast. |

ah the wondrous Vegemite on toast with sliced cheese and thinly sliced tomatoes. Of course it has to be Australian cheddar (Bega extra strong) and Queensland Butter.

Queensland Butter aka Echo Margarine.

Can you make toast on a peat fire or do you have toasters over there? One thing that I learnt travelling throughout Europe is that the EU is incapable of making either a properly working toaster or bread that will toast. Following Brexit this problem may have been rectified. Carried my own jar of Vegemite everywhere (of course).....!

One cannot be cavalier with either peat fires or toasters in rebel held Hibernia. Especially in the areas for ablutions where any bathing equipment is devoted to the making of poteen.
(I would not be surprised to find BP looking for the odd shipment of the stuff to shore up the shortfall caused by Idi Putin). You observation on the Eurotoaster Standard maybe that most are designed to pop up which is probably down when the antipodes are considered. Perhaps there could be some sort of standard converting attachment to catch the finished bread emerging from what would then be a pop down toaster.

I make toast the old fashioned way, heel of a loaf stuck on a prong and held in front of the furnace door (open) until golden brown. What the hell is Vegemite anyhoo, sounds like Bovril on steroids?

Why does holding things like that turn you brown? If you keep it up for longer do you turn black?
I would have thought you had enough trouble with ethno-ecclesiastical prejudice over there to sign up to another bigotry. (I understand Vegemite is Marmite but without the airmiles and with a lid that unscrews from the bottom).
