Let's make my first few postings non-contentious.

My peeve is having first my mum, and now my wife and kids, putting plastic
non-Lego in the Lego box.  I mean, does a pen cap REALLY look like Lego?  A

LEgo, the bin for everything else.

And it's not just my mum and wife - I have bought boxes of used Lego
