Flash spray with bleach is almost magical at cleaning teapots &
strainers etc

My hearing was damaged by wearing open-face helmets I think, so those
psychosis-inducing frequencies pass me by (the voices say they do,
anyway).

Mine was wrecked by too many years commuting on motorways without ear plugs.
Noisy as hell AGV helmets didn't help either. One thing it has made my

Along with certain ink jet printers ( which scream staccato ) and
televisions with ageing high voltage circuits.
