      That makes me think of Bridget Christie in the 'answer your phone task'; she had by far the best hiding place for her key as putting in her boot was easy for her to retrieve but difficult for anyone else, banged a pot to fulfill the noise brief instead of shouting like everyone else and stored the soft toys in a bin bag to make them easier to carry. However, she still took the longest by far 😅

    Surprised no one tried to adjust the scale weight using the buttons on the screen. And no one tried to lift up the scale to make it go negative, then Tare it so less weight is needed to reach the 31.770kg.

    And we uncover that people simply don’t know wool (or other wicking material) prevent moisture buildup on the foot, which in turn prevents foot odour. No need to ever have stinky feet again. Our feet sweat a lot, way more in summer. But if moisture is moved off the foot... bacteria can’t thrive... and feet no longer stink. I learned this from my podiatrist. Stinky free for over 20 years now.
