A Biscuit Tin.
It has many uses different from keeping the biscuits as fresh as the day you bought them.
Now lets be honest and ask why you bought "those" biscuits in the first place.
Was it the tins overall shape – is square better for storage rather than round?
How many shoe brushes and tins of polish will it hold (now there is an old fashion concept – cleaning shoes and looking with pride at the beautiful shine.
Is it idea for keeping rusty screws and bent nails in?
Bits of wool, cotton reels etc.
Bank and till receipts intended for checking against the bank statement.
Then there is the "What is in this biscuit tin" which contains a myriad of items you intended to throw away but never did – the blunt screwdriver, an old and broken watch, crayons and candles etc.
What do you keep in your biscuit tin?

Yeah probably the wrong choice of word. What I mean is the clear and only oldest horse of the day. ie – if there is 2 eleven year olds as joint oldest then it’s a no bet.

Erm….. biscuits
Digestives, ginger nuts and shortbread are the favs. It’s is always used by the whole household and bloody visitors but never empty.
I keep the penny’s in a giant crayon money box and take it to Tesco’s once a year to use in their machine who swap it for credit for the xmas booze, ok they steal about 9p in the pound but it is worth it just to see the faces of passers by looking at me struggling to carry a heavy giant crayon.

Crayon to Cookie Jars.
Lady B and me save our loose change (and some) for Premium Bonds for the grand-children’s birthdays and Christmas presents in a cookie jar, vintage 1980’s.
Perhaps not such a grumpy old granddad after all.
There are hundreds of uses for thousands of things or is this something only the elderly indulge do in order to prove they are cool when it come to the modern mantra to re-cycle

You could well be right with that Bill. My Mum had plenty of uses for the wooden spoon. My backside still hurts just thinking about it, once my brother tried flushing the spoon down the toilet, it didn’t work……….

I like to get rid of old
nick nacks and tins and
oddly shaped momentoes,
and things lying about the house.
Reason – they can collect
and store dust,
and I don’t like dust.Violence should be a last resort.
I was belted as a boy but never
buckle end.Gamble – you grab bill’s legs and I’ll grab his arms. Between the 2 of us I reckon we can easily throw him overboard.

I will no longer be posting on this thread as billion has some bad karma issue’s going on at present at the other place.

Gamble – you grab bill’s legs and I’ll grab his arms. Between the 2 of us I reckon we can easily throw him overboard.
Just the two of you eh?
With all the mince pies and Christmas cake, sweets and puddings it may prove to be a challenge even for two strapping lads as per your good selves.
How about if I gave you some help like standing on a plank and only needing a little push.
Would not matter because just like a very large white ice berg I would float serenely away and not sink.
Worth a KARMA tick don’t you think
Billy's Outback Shack
Yes Bill, I see you are now in good karma, meaning I can post with you again now that you are a good boy. By the way gamble is a sheep so all we would need to do is for gamble to stand on all fours behind your knees(Glad MrE is not here he would get the wrong idea) and for me to give you a little push.
