Not such a big fan of almonds and walnuts. I just need to stop buying them I think. 🤔

I have to say they are so good, and now I understand why I like panang curry (my favourite curry paste) and probably any other dish made with cashews!

Israel is continuing breaking the ceasefire with total impunity!

I heard from the few people who got a work visa in France, it’s not so easy and straightforward, same for us in UK, but of course it’s cheaper at least!

I am afraid the Erasmus won’t go very far with this govt, talks will fail as with defence one as they don’t want to pay. Let’s hope for youth mob

If only the opportunity to live, work and study in Europe were not banned to them, there will be even more leaving

Can they show this in the BBC or print in every billboard? @ledbydonkeys.org could help with this!

Yep no questions asked, they agreed, they signed, they paid.

that’s what you do when you want to strengthen your position and be part of a larger community.

They haven’t joined yet the SM and they are already thinking about the speedy exit… who will trust them? Waste of time, money and energy to deal with UK!

Even Starmer has not understood then yet.

UK got more exceptions and concessions that any other member while in the EU. From rebate to not adhering to Schengen, etc. They got everything they were asking for while in the EU. Now, as you pointed out, their tactics and tantrums are not working anymore because they are a third country.

Do you mean the people sporting a EU flag could be arrested as those protesting against genocide? Strange times

Did they ever ask Farage or Johnson which economic theory are they referring to when they propose wild ideas?

We all know trickle down economics is not working, but I am sure he knows and understands better Keynesian economics than the other lot.

Did you notice that B&Q ones are listed as 115 litres?
December 2, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Maybe it corresponds better to gallons? I have to say I was a bit disappointed not to be able to find the UK sizes as a squared size box is better for packing. I have already all my clothes in squared ikea storage cases of 50x50 cm so it would have been easier to fit them in! Damn 🥹

They are either 52 or 53 cm in UK, this is what my sister bought from Amazon and B&Q

No idea though why there is such a difference in sizes!
