Yeah, it's quite liberating in a sense. Everything can have more than one purpose. That's why I have a thing for bamboo: you can use it for cooking, scaffolding, hanging clothes, smoking, fighting - the list goes on. #dinghour

Yes. I lived out of a 32kg suitcase for 2 years. I even used it as a table (pretty desperate, but it worked). #dinghour

Yeah. We're more influenced by other cultures, thanks in part to social media, and accept other ways of doing things. We can learn many optimisation tricks from the Japanese and Hong Kongers, who have very little living space.

Freezing avoids waste in our house. Frozen berries are perfect for last minute deserts, covered in cream 😋 – at Newbury, England

Hmm...placing your clothes rolled in luggage, rather than folded, works pretty well. #dinghour

Customer: "Can you price-match Amazon on this book?" Us: "No. We don't get the same margins as Amazon. And we have costs they don't in daily running the shop. And we pay tax. And the book is here, in your hands, right now." C: "I'll go to Amazon, I think." #BookshopLife 😡

We use animal figures as table numbers. This giraffe has been favourite amongst many. So we've decided to name her/him. Any suggestions? #rdguk #giraffe #namethatgiraffe

The more ways people have to contact you the more difficult it is to ignore. You can try and ignore. But once seen it festers in your head until you respond. – at Colwyn Bay, Wales
