Having been re reading Seymour's Complete Guide to Self Sufficiency, I'm tempted to build a thunderbox inthe garden to do my bit for reducing water consumption and generating garden compost. CP is appalled at the thought, her legal team are waiting next to the landrover to tow it and me away.....

Anybody have a view?

Oh please, don't encourage him, we are already turning into the "Odd Ones of Petty Slurpings".

I can imagine waking up tomorrow with aforementioned flippin' thunderbox outside and a whole petition of militia outisde the garden gate.

Going for a rest in a darkened room now with a damp lettuce leaf over my forehead!
