... that the UK is the only nation that doesn't need to have the name of its country printed on postage stamps, as the postage stamp was invented in the UK by Sir Rowland Hill in 1840.

Thanks to The General Knowledge Section from repeats of the 1980s darts game show Bullseye. :giggle:

If you get lily pollen on your clothes, in my case WHITE shorts, give the item a good shake outside and leave in the sun. It actually works! Gone! Magic 🪄

Same works for poo. Maybe not the shake part but the sun will bleach it out. And before anyone thinks I’m pooing myself it’s from when my child was a baby that I know this 😂

If only I’d known this when my 3 were babies. Bit late now they’re adults 😆
 
The sun will bleach out most stains from whites. Saved many a school shirt this way.

Do you wash them first or put them in the sun then wash?

I wash first then peg out - stain facing the sun. I use fairy liquid on the stain pre wash. Wash. Peg out facing the sun and it works 99% time. (See how rock and roll my life is) 😂😂

That birds only use their nests in mating season and to keep eggs. The rest of the time they just hang out on branches and rooves and stuff
