We used to wear wooden clogs and no socks I used to love making the hoop iron spark on the cobble-stone flags

I've never thought about this before, but The Guardian are suggesting 27in 4K (3840 x 2160) for photos instead of HD 1920x1080 (or 1200) surely this is getting silly any softness from the lens is really going to be noticeable. Pics on this site, if you can view a browser at such resolutions, will be really tiny

Is there anyone out there who can verify what 4k monitors are like to use for normal use? Even HD videos will look small.

For years I've always used this site for reviews....

Mackerel isn't that important. Most supplements include some fish oil.

The ones for a horse should be OK Avoid the one's they give dogs they are smaller and it means taking 5 or 6 to equal 3 of the human ones

I buy mail order ones Nature's Best Glucosamine Gold since Tesco's increased their prices a few years ago. I think all main brands are about the same in terms of results.

Mackerel fillets once a week also help..... the only one's I like are.....

Sainsbury's British Smoked Boneless Mackerel, Taste the Difference (approx. 140g)

I'm not a big Mackerel fan so I'm very fussy

Tesco's own brand are OK until you sort out an alternative. Tesco's also have branded one's with added vitamins etc.

If you are not already taking them you need to try Glucosamine + Chondroitin supplements usually sold with other ingredients such as MSM. They can either wind the clock back a bit or provide a complete cure. No idea why the NHS no longer supply them on prescription they only cost about 25p/day.
