Piggy piggy PIG!

Well, I just went to Woodley to buy some batteries. I failed - they proved too obscure for the likes of Robert Dyas and the Post Office - but found a Farmers' Market.

So I now have real apple juice - I like to think of it as blood wrenched from living apples. And some apple and ginger juice. And some intriguing-looking cider. And some handmade cheese with tomato and paprika in it.

And there was a pig roast going on. So I got a bun full of pig and apple sauce and crackling.

Farmers' Markets are a good thing.

(And I have batteries, too, but had to hitch a lift to the rather more prosaic Maplins with Sysadmin #1 to acquire them.)

Hullo, Mystery Guest :)

According to my list of Facts About String (careful, or I'll post the other 19), you can't buy it in Harrods. Mind you, my Facts were published in (probably) the early 90s, so may be outdated. Or just wrong.

How do you know string can be purchased from the materials department ?

Reveal a source of information such as that?! Never!
What more does the world of string have to offer in its tangled depths?

Well, Fact About String #8 is "Rope is made by twisting bits of string together: 1000ft of string makes about 720ft of rope." Presumably depending on the thickness. Best combined with Fact About String #1: "When is string rope ? When it's one inch or more in circumference".

Then there's Fact About String #11: "The flax industry in St Helena collapsed in 1966, when the British Post Office discovered rubber bands. Previously string produced for this country made up nearly 100% of the island's exports".

Wow! What more can string offer?!
Isn't there a logical thinking puzzle about unravelling string?
