Re: Birdies
They also made this baked potato “spiker”, so they cooked quicker, under the “Bel” brand name.

Surely not. Isn't that a satellite aerial?

Re: Birdies
Birds are attracted to TV aerials. I'm told it's the 'Rays' that keep them warm. J.

Re: Birdies
The pictures are snowy round here all the time.
They mostly have satellite dishes. We measure snow like they measure volume in swimming pools. The unit is CWC where one is enough snow on the dish so that the owner Cant Watch Coronation street. |

Re: Birdies
I have found the photo showing snow at more than one CWC on the satellite dishes.
