But anyone who's too bloody idle to go to their local B&Q and pick up a mop and bucket deserves whatever they get in the box.

Eichhörnchen · 11-16-17, 03:56 AM

I'll make full use of ebay when it comes to something I can't get in a local shop, or which would otherwise be much more expensive in a local shop... but a mop and bucket?
