I have the white backlit version, loving it. Ordered it direct from keychain, came in under a week.

Going back to the ice cream maker chat... Lidl are doing a cheap but small no freeze in advance machine, starting today, may give one a go.

My two idiots out on their walk today, the lab only sits nicely like that when treats are waved nearby…

I just bought from cedar planks online, soak for a couple of hours in water to stop them burning up, then I whacked some fish on, and put it over indirect heat, again to stop the cedar burning, worked well and gave a nice flavour.

I like grilling fish on cedar planks, you don't get as much char, but do get some good flavours.

Yep, it is a bit of a monster...
What I like is that I can comfortably have 3 programs open, I found on 27 inch I could have 1 thing open on each screen, but that was actually too big, but couldn't quite get 2 things per screen, with the ultrawide I can have 3 and it is perfect size. So I think it depends in how you work, I have to flick between excels and ppt a lot, so having them all up front is very handy.

Ha, yes sharp tools are definitely the answer!
I looked into it and worked out that there were essentially 4 options:
- A Robert Sorby Pro-Edge, which is basically the easiest to use, but comes with a high initial outlay
- Next stage down seems to be something like an axminster or tormek, which are basically water cooled stones with in built clamps, this is the option I wanted to go for, but they were all out of stock when I was looking
- next stage down is a standard grinder (pref slow turning with a white stone) with jigs, this is the option I went for, using a cheap axminster bench grinder, with jigs from ebay , he has put his prices up, but I am sure there are alternatives out there, or you can probably make your own up. I think I spent about £120 all in, and built a little stand to put it all on, so it is always there ready to go.
- Cheapest option is to get a grinder and just freehand, I think you probably need to be pretty skilled to do this, and well beyond my highly limited ability!

Yeah, I think you have to consider it that way.
I used to build it into my quoting, if I knew I would have to travel lots I would push my project price up to account for it. I could see this getting even more extreme in the future or maybe more obvious.
When you take into account BIK for me the only company cars that make sense are either full electric (low bik) or a pickup\van with a 1 tonne payload (tax on a fixed rate)
