Thank you for your dedication to the search. I love this.

When I worked in retail, I had this wanker of a middle manager who would ask how I was getting on, and when I said fine, he'd always say "It's not rocket science, is it?"

He was mid twenties and only a few years older than me. He used to call female employees "babe".

One time I watched him get a withering telling off from a customer. The customer wasn't in the right, but it felt like a little bit of retribution for all us "babes".

Of course it's in Scunthorpe.

I get that. I've been trying not to use the wooden boards for cutting them as it gives off such a weird smell when I wash them.

Not allergic, but the very thought of onions (and garlic) in pregnancy made me feel sick. Smelling them or seeing them cooked (with their translucent little stripes) would have me heaving. All the foods I love have onions and garlic in. It was awful.

Looks amazing! I have made samosas using filo, but also flour tortillas. You cut them in half then fold each half around your filling, using water and crimping to seal then.

Thanks! I'll have a look.

We use ours every day. The only bad thing about it is having to wash the drawers all the time.

I seen stuff like this before, and I think I know how it's supposed to work.

The "stranger" recruited the person who posted this to OP's friend as one of 6 people. Each of those 6 people recruit 6 others, who send the books to the stranger (their friend's friend), hence the 36. OP's friend will be asked to recruit 6 people in turn, and each of those recruit 6, who then send books to OP's friend.

I think it's a bit dodgy that they're being asked to buy new, but I'd be more concerned that these kind of schemes can be used to feel out who's likely to fall for more sinister scams, as people feel they're getting a lot back for very little.

Plus, it only takes a few levels (13 if my maths is right) before there are more (far more!) recruits needed than people on earth.

I have something similar! Mine is a playwright, so not on most people's radar, unless they Google my name. It's great.

Thank you!
