And people that work in UK-based businesses or on the British Bases (teachers, etc.) get the UK holidays too!

We have all been told no more working from home for us 

Some beautiful genius has buggered all the lifts in our building  on Friday. We are on the 15th floor and even the committed smokers gave up needing a darg after the 2nd time they had to do the stairs 

SO for elf and safety reasons we have to work from home this week .

Except this numpty has arranged to meet mates in town twice this week so have to go in anyway...that is tres annoying !!

It's a long story.  If you have a fish pond round here then it becomes a heron magnet and in a trice a 'once had fish' pond.  So around our elevated pond I put a set of angled rods to carry (heron safe - another story) wire in two strands. But because you can't buy the proper rods anymore I used electrical grommets in pairs to hold the wires at the right distance from the pond edge.  It works a treat. 
 
And then the deer flattened it drinking from the pond and then some of the rods rusted a bit and the deer broke them.  So I need to replace most of them and the old grommets have perished a bit.  Hence needed new grommets for £3 for a hundred + £7 delivery 
 
Just not sure now how I'm actually going to put in new rods without dismantling the top of the pond
