Tips Of The Day


Bizarre tip of the day:
Once you have cut a slice of lemon for your gin and tonic, how much do you end up wasting? The lemon, that is …. not much gin gets wasted in my house. Slice up any leftover lemon or lime into small chunks or slices, put them into an ice cube tray and cover with water. The next time you want a drink, you have the “ice and a slice” all ready to use.

Sensible tip of the day:
Switch off electrical appliances at the plug rather than use 'standby'. During standby the appliances are still using electricity, and this accounts for an astonishing 6% of all electricity used in the home.

No gin gets wasted in my house either - nor whisky, vodka, port, sherry, beer, cider, rum, liqueur or those sickly sweet things that kids insist on drinking before throwing up.
