Saturday night and doing the shopping for delivery and need yet another pair of rubber gloves. Feels un-environmental not a word I know to simply chuck them.

Answers on a postcard please, I shall pass the time with gin and the night manager 🤣

Join a marching band

My flute career sadly did not progress further than year 4. Mother was not impressed

Turn one inside out and you have a right handed glove.

Haha...yes I do this but bit uncomfortable 😬 or you could find a left handed person OP?

I cut them up into strips and use them as elastic bands.

Find a left-handed person and do a swap.

Jazz them up with glitter and fur and sell them on Facebook as Easter/ Christmas/ Birthday tat.

This is a true story;

Uni friend who had absolutely no farming knowledge purchased a set of rubber gloves with his last fiver, filled it with milk and pin pricked each end of finger. He taught himself who to milk a cow and now 30 years later owns 2 dairy farms and stocks Waitrose
