Over the last few years I have hired Astra, Focus, some Citroen (don't know what) and a Corsa, and much preferred the latter. Simpler to drive without too many gadgets telling me what to do. |

1. Why is it when you open a tin of evaporated milk there is still some in there, surely it should have evaporated away? 2. Secondly, when opening a ½ pint tin of condensed milk do the contents only measure ½ pint, surely it should be more out of the tin? I look forward to your expert, erudite explanation & solution to these problems which have troubled me for some time... |

Clearly once milk has evaporated there is no milk left except as an invisible vaporous discharge, however, there remains a cream coloured residue of sticky, glutinous 'tin filler' which as the name suggests is used for filling tins. Therefore when you purchase from your local grocer a tin of Evaporated Milk you are indeed getting evaporated milk that has evaporated prior to the tin being filled with a cream coloured, sticky ........ Oh! What's the use, you wouldn't understand. |

Do I read it aright? Delta wants to rush from some part of Europe to get back to, of all places, Reading in order to watch a togger match?
Well apparently Luton Town FC are also involved in some 'crunch' meeting tonight that will decide their fate in some obscure competition, so I shall be rushing off to Silverstone Village to spend an evening in convivial company at a hostelry there. Maybe I am just as mad as Delta, after all. |

Iain, Surely you know someone or someone who knows someone with a helicopter or private plane? They could fly out a relief truckie to babysit while you are away, bring you back to see the match, then take you back to the truck and fly the relief truckie home. Simple. Time to go through your phone book and call in some favours ...? |

Still on the subject of we've got a new-ish car. So no spare wheel, just a bottle of tyre weld and a compressor which could be a disaster as my wife gets a puncture at least every two months. I just fished all the CDs out of the loft so she could listen to them in her car, it has no CD player although it has DAB radio, blutoof, mp3 capability (whatever that is) and a USB port.

Well, yes Bob, obviously.
However seriously rich people probably don't think that way so to them it would mean little. Anyone who can consider a £1billion bid for Arsenal, for example, must know a lot that I don't. And the Japanese chap who has just paid several tens of millions of $s for some graffiti designs daubed by a young, long dead, junkie artist that hardly anyone is likely to have heard of, must know stuff about other matters of which I am entirely ignorant. To settle on world madness as an explanation of everything seems like a perfect result of some measured reasoning to me. World madness does indeed seem to be endemic these days. |

As I recall DAB radio may or may not be obsolescent and I read an headline yesterday that suggested the same for MP3 files - whatever they were. We have the opposite problem. The daughters bought Management an iPod a couple of birthdays ago and with some considerable effort on their part "borrowed" and encoded all of Management's CDs that they could get hold of and loaded them on the said device ready for presentation. On the day a load of other CD's were mentioned and these too were encoded and added to the device after some further effort by all. The idea was to make a portable music collection - mainly for the car since that is the only place Management ever listens to music as far as anyone can tell. The car, being of an older generation, has a CD player and no socket for an iPod. So far as I know the iPod has not moved out of its box since it was returned with the updated (and now out of date) collection loaded. We live in strange times. |
