    Now you've given me a quandary - I'd never heard of strawberries doing that too. So I'll give it to you.

    I was thinking of the Kepel fruit grown in Java, Indonesia. Locals say that eating it imparts a pleasant aroma on both pee and poo - and it also acts as a natural contraceptive. I've often wondered if homemade Kepel wine would retain those properties.

    Over to you.

    Good for gout too!
    A 2012 study showed that it reduced the odor of feces by activating the probiotic bacteria Bifidobacterium bifidum.[citation needed] Stelechocarpus burahol is also an antihyperuricemic, and has traditionally been used to treat gout.[6]

    Meanwhile who had just had a private/ public lockdown party?

    Ok. if no one else objects here is a question. Many times in my life I have 'been in the dogs house' as many of us have been at some time or other. Why could I never live in the Cats House ? In fact I don't think any of us could. So who does actually reside in the cats house ?

    Because it's a book about a fantasy house for cats?

    Or an American version of a brothel?

    <laugh> Nope, neither of those BB. Try saying 'The Cats house' in a 'Scottish way' and it might give you a direction to work on !

    I think that David Cameron has been there. He could, of course, not take up residence there.

    The present official resident doesn't actually live there - in fact nobody has actually lived there since the 80s, although they could have done. Nobody on this forum could possibly live there - theoretically Hakim Ziyech could but it's unlikely.

    In one of the few countries where this type of building is not in the capital.

    Nope, not in Morocco Yorkie - understandable mistake with the Hakim Ziyech clue, but Hakim has never lived in Morocco and has dual nationality.

    You've got it Yorkie ! Originally built for Jacob Cats, a Dutch poet and politician of the 17th Century - it's been the official residence of the PM of the Netherlands since 1963. The present one, Mark Rutte, has it as his official residence but actually lives in the Hague. Catshuis is, of course, pronounced the same way as a Scot might pronounce cats house (hoos). You would, of course, have to have Dutch nationality to ever become PM of the Netherlands which rules us all out (but not Hakim Ziyech <cheers>). Over to you.
