My Oh bought a carbon steel dutch hoe at the "T" shop yesterday - so what I hear you ask?  It cost all of 12p.

aw nuts!  I was in our local one today but didn't check out the gardening stuff cos I was on my dinner ::)

What I did get though was a free doohickey that turns veg into spirals just for watching a fella demonstrate a knife!  Would have bought the knives too but I only had £5 on me  :lol:

Is there some sort of time warp to the fifties going on here or what?!
