I have to admit that I cant get my head round Classic's puzzle - I thought it was gobbledygook. Wol can you put me out of my misery and send me a PM with the answer?
No!
You might be looking at it too deeply.

It is not a random set of answers, nor is it a deep code. Hope that helps.
You were very close with the beetroot sandwiches!

Somewhere even more exotic than Letchworth, if one can imagine such a thing.Which forrin part? Letchworth?
Sounds exciting
Ardres, which is about an hours ride from Calais. I'm doing the Carre des Valles ride. 4 waymarked routes from 25 km to 140km, a goody bag at the start, feedstops, motorbike sweepers, beer and baguettes at the end. It cost 3 Euro on the line last year, but it may have gone up.

Our 'local' Asda is not far from a council estate, a lot of the people who go in there are so poor they cannot afford to shower, use deodorant or buy fruit and veg. Instead the buy loads of tinned, ready made and packet stuff, it makes them huge but I guess that is what happens when you are poor, even the alcohol they buy is cheap

We finished making a thing!
Needed a bedside table for the single guestroom. NT remembered a very skuzzy greasy wooden crate we found when we were taking pictures in Trafford Park:
Very grim. But with a piece of MDF covering the oily back bit, and a shelf and a top, it looks more promising:
Even better after a coat of paint:
NT found an old drawer that didn't fit the top bit, and made it fit the top bit, and I painted it to give a bit of colour, and refitted the brass handle:
NT made a pair of wooden runners to keep the drawer in line, and then we filled the bottom bit with improving books, and installed it beside the bed:
Time taken, a couple of hours over the weekend, and cost: £0, as it was all scraps of wood and paint that were knocking around.

@Arch, can I use plastic lemonade bottle as mini cloches for growing cuttings from plants?
The cover of my proper gator (?) has broken into about twenty pieces after getting blown about by the wind. I cannot just but a new cover. I thought I could cut the base of the bottles off, (and use them for something else), and perhaps make a vertical cut through the bottle, so that the top half fits inside the bottom half, making it more sturdy than a single layer of plastic. These mini cloches would be vertical not horizontal. They would then fit over little black plastic pots, and stand in the base of the old propagator.
