Wash the stained area first with white vinegar to ease out the stain . Then give the area a wash with gentle shampoo and then conditioner & then rinse with water well


Dry naturally.


Serve with a side salad and Jersey Royals .

Alan sat on the saddle soap once.


It's not been seen since.

Related query - I've got a lovely black leather handbag that's got a bit scuffed. It's still structurally sound (amazingly, as it's at least 4 years old and has been heavily used) and is very soft leather (almost as soft as glove leather). But it looks grey rather than black in places.


How can I restore the blackness, without using shoe polish as I'm worried that it'll end up on my clothes?

Cleaning leather : damp cloth then leather cream to buff. As for the handbag, you could try black spray paint if the areas are small, permanent marker... i only make these suggestions as you were thinking about using shoe polish but only avoided it through fear of it getting all over your clothes!

Spray point will likely crack with time. Have you asked about a professional restoration? Otherwise, what about using a leather conditioner on the handbag? The grayish appearance may be b/c the leather is dry. A leather conditioner would improve this.


To the OP, how did your chairs turn out? What method did you use?

Go to local stables and use Horse Urine collected in a bucket.

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
