Kids can do it when they B&Q it

formatting link
are doing kids' DIY classes.

Seasonal projects are Making a Sledge and Making a Christmas Tree.

I don't know if you can drop the kids off and leave them for the afternoon.

Do they teach them how to use an anglegrinder? "How to chop your parent's heads off in a more interesting way".

There, I've fixed it for you.

And if you read the terms and conditions. for that page.... " classes are only available at selected B&Q stores to those over the age of 18".

This probably means that kids are allowed to use the angle grinder, unsupervised.

The video shows the classic "I'll hold it and you can hit it with a hammer".

One of our local sheds (Home Depot) over here has been doing that for a few years (along with free 'classes' aimed at adults, too). Seems to work quite well.

Our kids ones are quite short - too short really to leave them - and I think the kids probably benefit from having someone they know helping them, anyway.

For some reason the old Peter Sellers classic Auntie Rotter comes to mind reading this. Wouldnt it be nice to have two daddies? Up on the stool behind the dooor hey diddle diddle, up wiv your hatchet and chop im darn the middle.

if they are making sledges, does this mean that B/Q are going to start selling snow to go with it?

What, as in "When I nod my head you hit it?"

It snowed over here last night - all of about half an inch*. I just watched one of the big snowploughs rumble past on the road out front, showers of sparks flying up from the blade. A little premature, perhaps... :-)

  • statistically, we have at least an inch of snow-cover by now; it's been very mild around here so far this year, though.

:-) It's pretty good around here, and rare that the ploughs don't keep ahead (OK, so there might be 6" of snow on the roads sometimes between passes of the ploughs, but that's still driveable). The schools do sometimes think about doing a 2hr late start once the temperature gets to

-20F (-29C), although not always - and closures for an entire day are a rarity.

It's all about what people are used to, I suppose - we still get a couple of days of silly season after the first big snowfall while people adapt, but after that everyone just gets on with it.

Snow certainly causes my area to grind to a halt. Lots of steep hills and no road "important" enough for the council to grit.
