Rosebay willowherb
The tall, pretty pink flower spikes of rosebay willowherb

Close but the flowers don't open like that.

Do you know of a resource to help me find out what it is?

It's probably of the same family, so somewhere within the 197 plants of the willowherbs

Exactly which would probably need a botanist to look at it

Rosebay Willowherb

I thought that was one of the Geldof kids

Or have a website link to id plants

Theres a subreddit that seems pretty active

Not a website, but The Wild Flower Key by Francis Rose is still the gold standard for plant identification. Takes a bit of practice to use though.

Vietnamese coriander? https://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/persicaria-odorata/

Is blu-tac the best thing to use for attaching postcards to painted walls?
Has the formula changed since I was a kid or will it still turn into a weird-smelling hard wax and leave grease spots on things?
Is there something better?

3m command strips would seem to be the new hotness for this.

Ah yeah. Might try the poster strips. Looked into the ones for hanging frames before, but too many reviews of things falling off the wall and smashing...

Bought a massage roller stick in TK Maxx, got home. Just seen this.

I don’t plan on inserting it into any part of my body or consuming it, so should I be worried?

Far as I expect, everything with plastic/synthetics has potential to do that.

Is it more about off-gassing?

Oh wait. Never mind. I used initiative. At least I’m not lactose intolerant...

Serious car trouble (one car household, rural, 3 kids = nightmare)
Citroen Nemo Automatic (don't laugh) 2012. Basically similar/same as Peugeot Bipper/Fiat Forino/Berlingo etc.
Was all fine yesterday. Went to start this morning and
Weird (rather than usual electrical start up/switch on sound when turning key first click)
Not turning over at all
Fuse relay ticking
Speedo flicking up and down
Hazards on/off intermittently
Various warnings Inc EPS, Fuel Cut off, Hill hold and a variation between a few and all dash lights flashing and a lot of flickering/ticking and general weird electrical type shit.

Can't get a read on portable diagnostic machine as I guess power from/to car won't maintain even when it's linked to a battery charger AN other car through jump leads.

Any ideas?

Disconnect the battery for a minute, then reconnect.

Renault have a no start, unresponsive snag, which pulling a fuse or battery sorts.

How old is the battery?

Citroen Nemo Automatic (don't laugh) 2012

The only reason I'm laughing is that I nearly bought one at about the same time, but then I looked at how little extra the Berlingo was over the life cycle and how much more van you got. IIRC, it came to about £5 a week, which made the Berlingo a no-brainer. Not that having a Berlingo would make any difference in your current position, as they probably use a very similar computer, and everything computer driven is subject to bugs and glitches. My 2019 Berlingo started talking to me in French the other day, for no reason 🤷🏻‍♂️ #csb

As @user69121 suggests, a cold boot might fix it, as long as the battery is good.

@user69121
This was the first thing I tried (3 hours disconnected but alas no good). Will try over night too. Air bag warning now proving a popular one!

Since new but only 50k miles and also situation not helped with charger/jump

Ok so if the reset hasn't worked it is most likely that your battery is no good any more and therefore cannot hold a charge.

If you have AA, or similar, membership they can send a van to analyse the battery, give you a report. They will also probably have a suitable replacement on board that they can sell you and fit at your house or where your car is.

Alternatively if you can get a lift to Halfords or a garage they will be able to sell you a replacement (this will be cheaper than the aa)

Yeah; I'm hoping that is the case; also the battery tester showed only 9.8-10V on what's a 12V battery. The only thing that casts doubt is that it wouldn't start with a battery charger on 'start' mode.
Thanks for your contribution - see if I can borrow a neighbour's battery perhaps

We had an airbag warning light coming on in our Berlingo, it was just a connection under the front seat - something had got pushed under and snagged the wires, there's some under both front seats.

May be worth clearing out underneath, disconnecting/reconnecting everything. Try everything before I submit to getting completely rinsed!

You may* be able to rescue it with baking soda if there is corrosion on the terminals.

Disconnect the battery completely.

Sprinkle baking soda on the terminals and connections.

Put a small spritz of water on the baking soda.

Once it has stopped fizzing give the terminals and connections a bit of a scrub.

Grease with petroleum jelly or specialist battery terminal grease.

Let everything dry completely and then reconnect.

*This has worked for me in the past I cannot tell if it will help you but you try it at you own risk. Also eye protection is advisable battery acid in your eye ain't nice.
