a few years ago i asked a shopkeeper if he had blue tac but in white..........he said yes we have white tac LOL

[annadomino]

I had a similar reply this morning, "do you have blu tack, I cant see any'
'No sorry - we only have white tack' duhhhhh

Daft, innit - it's always called Blutack, whatever colour it is.

I remember the late great Magnus Pyke explaining that tomato ketchup is thixatropic - wonderful word!

does that mean it thixes things to the wall?

[boxtops]

I never tried thixing things to the wall with ketchup, jno.....

[atrollope]

No ..that would be hard to believe...the Artist who stuck the Blu tack to a wal..he won the Turner Prize for a light turning on and off.

I once used blutack to temporarily fix a piece of trim on my car. It stayed on for 2 years (surviving many car-washers)and only came off when I had an accident.
