Chinese fuses

The local independent pound shop has a card of 20 brightly coloured chinese special flat car fuses offered for a pound. I had a look closely at each 5A 10A 20A rating fuse - they are identical!

Store Clerks "DUMBER THAN HELL"

Up to about 5 years or so ago I used to either do cash or checks for almost everything and seldom used a credit card. Then I found out about the cash back. Some cards even give from $ 20 to $ 50 just for getting their card and using it a few times.

Cleaning new saw

As a guy who sells this in a bike shop, I suggest kerosene or the $6 / gallon citrus degreaser from the Borg, vs. the $6 1/2 liter from the bike shop. Even _the bike_ shop dosen't use that in it's own parts washer.

Noisy Skandanove freezer - is this normal ?

My father has a Skandinova frost-free freezer, which he bought from Currys when his old freezer caught fire ! Understandably he is a bit timid with domestic appliances now, and is worried that the new freezer makes a lot of noise.
