A Guernsey 6d note dated 16th October 1941 no H2595 circulated

A Guernsey ten shilling note dated 5th June 1937 no EA2208 circulated

I have note been able to find either on the internet.

I want to knit a scarf with snowflakes. I've spent some time looking for a chart on the internet but can't find one I find attractive and many have more than six sides so are not correct.

I am on a course making momigami paper for embroidery. I would love to use this paper for scrapbooking but the method we are using is to put cooking oil on our hands then crumple the sheets. Oil contains fatty acids. Does anyone know of any other method?

I have found alternatives on the net such as tapioca starch, arrowroot or konnyaku (devil's tongue root) but I suspect these may acidic too.

All applications. I can move around but can't type anything in. I've tried restarting and now I can't get into the computer at all as I can't type the password. The caps lock light on the keyboard comes on. I tried changing the keyboard - didn't work.

I am making a baby quilt and the tutor told me when I was halfway through that I should not be using invisible thread as it dangerous for babies. I 've tried searching and found a few items that say it is a choking hazard. This seems a bit unlikely to me. I guessed any danger would be that a loose thread might wrap around a limb or neck. I am handstitching with invisible thread because my stitching is very uneven and didn't look good in cotton thread. I am using small stab stitches not running stitches and have anchored and fastened off the thread very thorougly. I don't want to unpick and redo all my work if there is no real danger but obviously I don't want to endanger a baby either. Does anyone have any expert information on this?

I spend a lot on books with Amazon but am dismayed to read that they have brought in The Burke Group to prevent their warehousemen forming a union. Does anyone work there and know how well they treat their workers. They made an incredible profit last year.

My sister is researching our family tree and has heard a story that our great uncle died at Pearl Harbour. His name was Jean Le Billon but he changed his name to Jack when he went to live in America because his name was being mispronounced as the female name Jean. He was a seaman and travelled all over the world. He once brought a monkey back from his travels and it ended up on the Hood which was sunk by the Bismark.

I would like to knit a scarf for someone who has been very helpful to me and as he is an extrovert type of guy I thought it would be nice to knit his name along the length of the scarf.

Does anyone know of a pattern to do this. I don't mind paying for it as it will save me time experimenting.

I have found a few patterns for knitted alphabets but I am not sure if they will be in proportion sideways since I will be knitting up from the short edge of the scarf.

I will be visiting Cambridge next month for the Recombination weekend. Can anyone recommend any craft shops that sell card making and scrapbooking supplies.

I have been selling Berol Colourbroad pens for bingo but the supply chain has been disrupted. Can anyone recommend a similar thick waterbased felt pen particularly in red?

It needs to sell around 30p but have a reasonably long lasting ink supply.

I'm not looking for dabbers , many people prefer a pen

If you have made any have you tried turning the side flaps outwards and gluing them together instead of gluing them to the inside of the box? Does this work? I think it might but they would need tape or paper stuck across the join inside to strengthen it.

To the best of my knowledge these are only in the US & Canada. So many answers recommend them for finding various craft products but to these answers are not helpful given on this site which is UK and Ireland.

I had an obvious junk 'work from home' e-mail ($ not sterling) and did the usual block sender & deleted. When I came to empty deleted items a message came up saying a receipt had been requested sent to nerdshack.com when message is deleted.

Options Yes, Yes to All, No, No to All, Cancel.

Message appears to be from Microsoft but is it? Is it safe to press No? There appears to be no other way to send it to recycling.

A painter was commissioned to paint 'Custer's Last Thoughts' for a gala event. With much fooforaw the painting was unveiled to show in one corner fish with halos over their heads and opposite a lot of Native American having sex in various positions. After the gasps of shock the painter was asked to explain and said "Well I figure his last thought was, Holy mackerel where did all those effing indians come from'.

Help me explain why I love Poor Wandering One from Pirates of Penzance

My WI has a DJ visiting and we were asked to pick some classical music for her to play. I asked for Poor Wandering One from Pirates of Penzance. She wants to know why I like this one so much and I can't explain. I love the ah,ah,ah,ah,ah bit but how do I describe it?

It's an open top pie with potato slices cheese and onion. There is a distinctive flavour I think may be sage
