Anyone with sense would instantly push on a full bore valve, or have all your pipework pre-fabricated and ready, freeze and install in a matter of a few minutes using compression or brass push fit joints.

They're for buying as presents, so we get given things at birthdays and christmases about which we can say "thank you dear, that will come in useful" without being too dishonest. Gadgets are the only things between us and incompetent present-givers and never-ending socks and musical underpants.

True, whilst I find it OK to manage having someone else to hold the cleaner does make it easier.

I know this used to be a big problem with budget brushes, but Ive found the 11p toolstation ones to be quite ok, and not shed. Ridiculously cheap!

I'd have thought a never-ending sock could be classed as a gadget.

I _have_ a never-ending sock. It's actually a knitted Klein bottle. Bit of a bugger if you store it in the sock drawer though.

That and twenty-four garages with soft toys and a few wilting carnations.

So, what really useful stuff should we have on our Xmas lists? My usual problem is that if I want it and it is affordable, I've probably bought it, otherwise it is too expensive for a present.

I'm the same. I don't want anything I don't need and have everything I need.
