    [Brighton] Ikea buy Churchill Square and will open City store in old Debenhams

    I went to the Croydon IKEA once. It was on a Saturday and we spent 30 minutes trying to Park, 2 hours going through the store only to find the items we wanted were out of stock. Mrs Elbow hated it too so we skipped the meatballs and stopped off at Uncle Sams on the way home.

    [Misc] Mattresses.

    I've got an Nrem TWeak mattress. They customise it to your weight, sleeping style and preferred firmness. It was £1100, 5 years ago, so not cheap but not ultra expensive. I kept it after the 100 day trial. It has the benefit of specifying different firmness and weights for 2 people, which...

    [Help] Tiling cost advice

    My son was quoted £2,000 for replacing tiles around his bath/ shower with wall panels. The quote included all materials but reusing the existing shower screen. Parking and access are a pain which will have added to the cost. I decided to have a go myself and hacked off the old tiles on the...

    [Misc] Britain's bitter bread battle

    Nothing wrong with sourdough toasted on my Aga. It also keeps fresher much longer in my house too.

    [Misc] Britain's bitter bread battle

    I buy 2 loaves of sour dough each Saturday (about £4 each) and top up with one or two home made loaves and the occasional Tesco Tiger baguette.

    [Albion] If We somehow win and get through?

    If we win tonight there is no point anyone who is at the Amex going to work tomorrow. The chances of any work getting done will be lower than the chances of us winning. In fact there won't be much point in going home. Our families and friends will be fed up hearing us rattle on and on about...

    [News] Life in Seaford.

    Depends on your handicap. For hackers like me Seaford Head was a pleasure, Blatchington a struggle. Oh and the drive from the Head's 18th Tee is the best shot in golf. Glorious....

    Another shout for Specsavers. The Lewes branch are great and last time offered me a 25% discount on my variofocals for being a Lewes Rooks owner!

    [Misc] Varifocal glasses

    I've had them for years. Pay the extra for the more expensive 'wider field of vision' lens, its well worth it.

    [Other Sport] Shrove Tuesday

    Love pancake day When my kids were at home, we'd start with tuna and sweetcorn, move onto peanut butter and jam and finish with either lemon and sugar or chocolate and cream or Nutella. Kids would all want at least 5 each, often more!

    [Help] What would you teach someone from abroad about British Culture?

    I worked with some Polish people on a European Project. We gave them a tour of recycling sites in the South East, and they were very keen to know where Stonehenge was, how the stones were moved what it's purpose was etc . Could be worth mentioning in case the Ukrainians know about Stonehenge...

    Is that £55 including broadband, or just the media package? Also, how long is the £55 deal for?

    [Technology] Broadband provider

    I'm in Lewes and Sky has been very good with exceptional reliability, which is very important with Mrs Elbow working at home. They keep putting the price up and its irritating having to phone and renegotiate every time, but I'm reluctant to change as so many horror stories of poor service out...

    Is that the place they were trying to get the I O Wight Diamond motorcycle road races going? Always thought it would be great fun and so much closer than the Isle Of Man TT.
