It also doesn't show whether you've watched an episode or not, and doesn't remember your captions settings - you have to turn them back on for every programme and then again for every new session

Great idea - if you have tools and basic carpentry skills, and the means to drive around collecting pallets. Don't get me wrong, I have something similar, but I was lucky enough to have a friend who could collect materials and assemble it.

I refuse to be the 'Mum' of the office - and you wouldn't believe how long the kitchen hand towel remained unwashed after I stopped doing it (I used the paper towels in the loo)

I don't think so, ABRP doesn't seem to show prices and I don't think Gaspy covers EV charging
