And if you can't find a tape measure calibrated in cubits, then a cubit is around a foot.

No it isn't, it is the length from your elbow to your finger tip, about 15".

Depends on which cubit.

Close... Had a goodly dollop of the large chocolate trifle, which, incidentally, was 60p on YS.

At one point, a good source of reduced price chocolate used to be Thorntons. Well, the Cambridge shop at least. They used to sell large bags of their production line mishaps really cheaply and I used to go and stock up regularly. Wonky or not, chocolate is chocolate. Shame they don't do that anymore. When I asked, they told me that the mishaps went into waste instead.

Though they did seem to have an excess of their large chocolate santas after xmas this time around, and were flogging them off at a dozen for a fiver. Now that wasn't a bad deal by any means, but even I'd struggle to deal with a dozen santas.

There's a stall on Ely market that often has boxes of the Cadbury's cake mishaps however...

I get the same via the big online players. However I used to use NFU Mutual, I could call a real human who listened to what I wanted, asked a few basic questions and got a quote. Very simple and quite old-fashioned, I felt they still had a manila folder in a filing cabinet with my name on it. I no longer use the online systems or call-centre based insurers.

They do. They are based across the road from us (were next door but one) and are the most backward lot I have ever come across.

After 8 months of solid graft and a 55 hour week up to and including go-live, the first phase of our new EPR system in the NHS has gone live today. Been out for a few beers to celebrate tonight. Only 3 more bigger phases to go........enjoy scaling the small hurdles first!

The tape measure is easy. The dairy on the Swineford Road, just outside Foxford. You get the "Old Man", he might be able to help with the wood.

He might prefer the 'old woman' to get wood.....
