Support your high street they say.

Well, yep I would do but it need to be either more convenient or less expensive.

Usually it’s neither.

Edited to add, I’ve noticed the b&q website seems to be more like Amazon these days with the vast majority of items ‘online only’ and fulfilled by third party sellers, making it a pain if you just want to see what they might have in the local shop.

I know there’s a few dragster fans here, we’ve all seen the pics and videos of the tyres doing this before, but read the caption, some of these facts are mind bendingly unreal

The 747 fact can’t be correct? There’s no way a 747 can fly with only 3000ish bhp? And be that inefficient?

[DeskJockey]

A quick Google says that a plane "like a 747" burns about a gallon a second in flight. I assume the burn rate is higher for takeoff.

Quite possibly. Social media is full of people poaching other people’s shit. But as I haven’t watched it I couldn’t tell you
