Gday... BMC Australia (remember them?

) released the Morris 850 (eventually renamed Mini but forever lovingly known as The Brick) in 1961, promoting it as a perfect town runabout but also tough enough to cope with the bush. The manufacturer advertised it as a five-seater but with respect...

I have just read a post on grey water. There are two ways of looking at this. 1 We were advised to save water in our homes by diverting grey water to our gardens a few years ago . This seemed a good idea as we would save water and water our gardens at the same time. This water would only have dirt from our clothes...
