I clean out the £ shop every month for cotton buds and kitchen roll.

The problem I find with the cotton buds is getting them in the right calibres.

I use a lot of acetone too but only get the gallon cans as my storage is limited.

Google is your friend you lazy toad

Google is an awful company and is no ones friend.

I don't see why we should encourage the use of foreign weights and measures on a UK web site.

Even though the Admin and both Johny foreigners?

Measured and weighed in feet and inches/stones, pounds and ounces.

I think they had to stop selling it because it contains cyanide. Cyanide compounds gave better results as it carbo-nitrides the surface not just carbon.

Used to use it where I worked at one time on things like machined bearing carriers etc.

Good stuff cyanide used to use cymag for badger control and the like.

why we should encourage the use of foreign weights and measures

For the same reasons that in 1824, the British themselves replaced their own inferior & obsolete measurements with a more modern one to eventually smarten-up to using the rational metric one . I have no doubt that to be true to yourself, you are still ordering your stash of beer by the firkin or the hogshead ? If not, you are just a mere "pretendy" imperial measures user...
Oh .... BTW ... if you are using the word "pint", you will be delighted to know that it is actually a French word

No one sent me a letter about changing the weights and measures system, I use the weights and measures I was taught in school and have served me well over the years see no reason to change.

If other people want to be out of kilter with this and use these esoteric metrics then good luck to them but I have never seen the need to use such a system.

If that bothers you then tough!

Dromia, grams are approximately equal to Smarties... so 100 to 300 Smarties worth for £7.95 to £23 delivered by postman.

Look at the price of bloody Smarties nowadays that they are metric.
