I was about to point out the pointlessness of B&M selling Hard Water teabags in a soft water area when I checked to see if we had changed and nobody informed me. We haven't but there are some hard water areas within 50 miles so I suppose the teabags are for day trippers to our unique B&M store!smile

Our Waitrose sells kettle and washing machine descaler, shower limescale cleaner etc, which seems pretty pointless as we have soft water around here.

One or two (6 actually) jobs had accumulated over the festive period so I made out a list in order to remember them.

On reading said list I was amazed to see that all 6 jobs began with the letter C.

Now here is a pointless question - what are the odds on that happening?

I can confirm that the list was not contrived in any way.

Supermarkets don’t stock items they can’t sell-yes, that’d be pointless. They obviously do sell👍🏻😊

Although it's some years since I taught probability, I believe the answer to your question is (1/26)^6 - but since the answer would be a very small decimal there'd  be a point in it so it doesn't really belong in this thread does it?! wink

Must  be to tourists, those of us who have been tourists in HW areas, or people who have just moved here, as nobody who has lived here for a while would need such products.

I should think the overall demand is very low.

I think possibly the ridicule is running towards those that respond, someone who wants to win at everything and have the last word. It is a game played by a gamer.

My last words on the subject. smile

Brue, Instead of complaining about what people on here or what are you up to thread, choose to post, why don't you respond to some of the questions that people have asked, seeing that you own an EV and would therefore, know the answers to those questions such as how much power is used by heating, aircon etc. and how much this might reduce the range? Don't you think that would be a more useful and helpful response instead of hitting the report button?

 Would have thought it almost pointless spending £30 to commute for that Malc.

Posted on 12/01/2018 04:44

Yes pointless at the moment, EasyT  but necessary if I want to keep my job. I can't very well say to them to drop me off the rota until March when they need drivers to work now, and expect them to hold my job open for me, can I?
