    A lot of buildings dont have a 13th floor just like hotels dont have a room with 13 in it.
    I discovered this when i let a customer charge their dinner to room 313 with didnt exist. The manager was not happy about that!

    In China they have an aversion to the number 4 (because it sounds like the word for "death") hence this:

    On the subject of cleaning.

    A cheap alternative to cleaning hands is sugar and soap. (a small teaspoon is plenty) rather than the expensive stuff.
    It gets out oil, grease soil earth dirt etc.

    An old trick from my mother! But she uses (& so do I) a teaspoon of regular granulated sugar & a dash of cooking oil. The sugar acts as an abrasive & the oil as a moisturiser. Rub well in for a few minutes & wash off with soap - you're hands will thank you for it. Add lemon juice if your hands need 'de-staining'

    Many of them are awful....I read till number 10...and had enough
    How to stop a mad dog
    A scout's staff, a walking-stick, or even a handkerchief or hat may be held before you as shown. The dog invariably endeavours to paw down your defense before biting, thus giving you the opportunity of disabling him by a kick."
    So we can disable dogs with a kick now ?
    How to make a chair to cross a stream
    Fasten a strong rope to a tree and let a boy swim across the stream and fasten the other end to a tree on an opposite bank. Make the chair
    Rescue someone from electric shock "In rescuing a person touched by a "live wire" do not attempt to take hold of him if he is still grasping the wire, unless your hands are protected by rubber gloves, a water-proof coat, or several thicknesses of dry cloth. Stand on glass or dry wood, and try and have (the) current switched off, and send at once for a doctor."
    When is glass ever readily available to stand on, and who would suggest doin it ?

    I know you didn't make these up...but...they're stupid

    no picture as its only an idea, but one way to keep water costs down,
    toilets....
    stick the cistern on the outside wall to collect water from the rain gutter outside. Only to be used on rainy days. also if you are one of those double flushers then this is not for you. lol.

    There are already systems like this available:

    but to be honest, with the cost of setting up something like this, you will probably only start saving money after a decade or more (at which point you'd probably have sold the house!)

    That's a brilliant idea, but wouldn't the weight of a cow activate the gate too?

    Cows hate those cattle grids on the ground, they never walk on them, most houses out in rural areas in this country have them in the driveway aswell. Anyway the car will weigh about a ton, animals will be lighter, the engineer could just add weight until its balanced properly.

    The weight of several cows maybe, it'd be interesting to try and build

    I know they hate grids, but they're usually metal, I didn't think they'd mind wooden grids too much. But you're making a good point, it'd be a matter of calculating the right 'tilting' weight, so to speak.

    Hungry sheep on the Yorkshire moors have taught themselves to roll 8ft (3m) across hoof-proof metal cattle grids - and raid villagers' valley gardens.
