Everyone likes Tunnock’s stuff, right?
Found myself in Uddingston yesterday
as well as all the prepackaged biscuits and teacakes that you’d find in the supermarket, they’re still an old-fashioned baker’s shop.
Got some cakes:
they also sell loaves and, suprisingly, pies
they used to have a sit-in tearoom, but apparently it closed during Covid and never re-opened.
Oh my days. That looks beautiful 
See Google 2TB plan is £79.99, 400GB is £69.99 and both are called AI plus with the new tier naming started June 8th. For £10 extra I would obviously take the 2TB
Assuming you use more than 400GB it makes sense. Realistically I can see them hoping you end up on the more expensive one with like 900GB of data and then them raising the price later to reflect a greater gap between the £69.99 and £79.99
It’s price anchoring. They’re deliberately making the cheaper one look like a worse deal. “If I’m paying this for this, I might as well pay that for that”
Kind of left field request, but does anyone have any idea how to get a petrol smell out of Skechers?
I’m on holiday and spilled a bit of unleaded on a shoe and it stinks. I’m coming back home tomorrow so can chuck them in the washing machine then (though given how much stuff we had to bring “just in case,” I’m a bit surprised we didn’t bring it with us 
).
Anyway, any advice that doesn’t need a naked flame would be appreciated.
TIA.
AI says
To successfully remove a petrol smell from your Skechers, you need to break down the fuel particles and draw out the vapors. The best approach involves neutralizing the odour with baking soda and sun-drying them outdoors, as harsh chemicals can degrade the materials.
Step-by-Step Odor Removal
Air them out immediately: Place your shoes outside in a shaded, breezy area. Fresh air and sunshine naturally break down volatile fuel compounds, but keep them out of direct, intense heat to protect the memory foam.
The Baking Soda Trick: Because many Skechers feature delicate memory foam, avoid machine-washing unless absolutely necessary. Instead, pack the inside of the shoes with baking soda.
Quick method:
Sprinkle baking soda generously inside the shoe, leave it for 24 hours, and then vacuum or shake it out.Mess-free method: Put a few spoonfuls of baking soda into a coffee filter or an old cotton sock, tie it off with a rubber band, and stuff it deeply into the shoe. Leave it for 2 to 3 days to absorb the smell.
Deep Clean the Insoles:
If the smell is isolated to the insole, pull them out. Scrub them gently with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild washing-up liquid. Rinse well and let them air dry separately.
Things to Avoid
Do not use the tumble dryer: The heat from a dryer can warp and permanently damage the structural integrity of your Skechers and melt the synthetic fabrics or glue.
Avoid harsh bleaches:
Bleach won’t effectively neutralize petrol and can ruin the color and material of your trainers.Avoid masking with perfumes: Using heavy sprays before getting the petrol out will just leave you with an unpleasant “petrol-flower” scent.
Yeah. I’ve no idea why it was held. Thanks for the reply.
Did this. It worked.
Did this too. It was fine.
Thanks for suggesting AI. I should have thought of that
Looks good @Carlo1460, pork here tonight. Took another few minutes off my already curtailed lifespan with far too much crackling.
Ahh man I want that crackling
@AlanDoe its time for this filtering to go.
I’m usually a chicken man or if I eat out it’s beef roast all day long!
Went in a Yorkie wrap with thin roasted carrots and parsnips, some duck fat spuds and dippy gravy.
Though the hassle I could’ve just played it up like a normal person 
Jax is hovering but he’s not allowed any.
It was super crispy!
Agreed. It’s flagging completely acceptable stuff. Ridiculous.
