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.)

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?
