BarFly and Phill. I remember a pop man being around though I don't recall one ever coming to our house (not counting the orange drink that the milkman brought) but the pools man did come weekly.

We got the pop man but no pools man. I think they ought to resurrect the pop man since all the bottles were recycled and it was fun seeing whether he had any new flavours like "American Cream Soda" on his wagon.

caron - rain in Dorset? Surely not.Here's a (secret Leeds) tip.Once a year washem & put this on exactly as directed and you won't need a cleaner.It's for cars but works well on home glass.Like seeing in HD. http://www.rainx.co.uk/

I believe...I believe.I can't stop laughing at the ad but take your word for it that it works. Trouble is, the double glazing frames make it impossible for me to reach the outside of the windows upstairs.Anyway, I've got used to the rustic look
