Skill, what's that little square cage thing hanging off your shed? I found one in my garden...I'm guessing you put a slice of bread in it for birds?

Put a lump of lard in it... birds love lard!

These are known as 'fat cages'.

You place a 'fat cake' in it for the birds to omnomnom on in winter.

You can make them yourself (as my dad does). All you need is an old foil pie tray. Pour in any cooking fat from grilling bacon, sausages etc into it and add dried fruit, breadcrumbs, bits of pastry, meat rinds and bits of bird seed/ seeds in it and wait for it to set (you can layer it up as you go along). Once you have a full tray, let it set completely and peel the 'fat cake' out of the tray and pop it in the cage

Birds love love love fat cakes

e: in before 'The birds around here love a fat cake wink, wink' etc etc

Possible triple-dip recession incoming - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21121219 - and it's all snow's fault!

What a truly awesome country we live in, a couple of days of snow and it's all gone to ****.

bertles86 · 21 Jan 2013 at 19:46

It's all melting in London!

bingham67 · 21 Jan 2013 at 19:47

Could not go more then 40mph to work this morning rather sketchy roads but tonight the roads had cleared the snow melting.

Craig1981 · 21 Jan 2013 at 19:59

We've had a very small flurry of snow on the west coast of Scotland, but its all melted immediately.

Looks like you've had a bit of frost over there.

The school back up in the lakes didn't send out a message that it was shut 'till 8:10am, most staff and lots of students are already in the school by that time which causes havoc. Some heads seem to think that shutting a school is a sign of weakness

Why close if most staff and a lot of kids are already in? Most strange.
