Just got back fromy usual trip to Scarborough. Dont know if its just me that didnt know this but best way to get sand off you is a bit of talcon powder (spelling) Works a treat no morw harsh rubbing or a 10k trip to sea for water Anyway thought id share Kev
The same with masonry drill bits. It might not be your crap drilling when you can't get into the wall, but that you need to spend a few pounds on a decent drill bit. Another thing I wish someone had told me
Re: Talc has a perfect basal cleavage jay you are a fountain of knowledge. Not heard the talc tip either. Might come in handy at the weekend!!
Worst advice I've ever taken What a nightmare! Talc may be a relatively well behaved beast in the calm environment of the bathroom, but on a breezy Cornish beach it's an entirely different animal. We were covered in talc, our clothes were covered in talc, our bags and belongings were covered in talc, the couple next to us were covered in talc, the family next to them were covered in talc, the whole of St Ives was covered in bleeding talc. The salt water in the damp sand and the talc then form a paste. It's like covering yourself in plaster of Paris. It doesn't so much remove the sand as weld it to your skin. I can't get it off now with a hammer and chisel. And then there's the residue. A ghostly white film covers your skin. I looked like I was dying from the feet up. People were stopping and pointing, young children burst in to tears, dogs howled and I began attracting flies. I've become a legend in the West County. The Yorkshire Zombie Foot. Local fisherman are singing sea shanties about me and there are ghost walks stopping by our holiday flat. Cheers Kev.
