Knife cuts can be unpleasant but kind of occupational hazard here That and peculiar looking bald patches on the arms, even elsewhere....
Truly horrible cuts can come from glass though....when I was young, decided to clean the windows in my student room. Window stuck by damp, hand slipped off handle arm straight out the window by some good fortune I grabbed the side with left hand-just as my neck was heading to a large shard! Tendon severed completely so right hand useless, huge spouts of blood coming from wrist and ring fingertip almost severed, held on by the glass splinter that had pierced through the finger nail Still got a deep ragged scar on the wrist and the finger tip is still unpleasant to touch stuff with to this day.
Ever since then, I refuse to clean windows
Outrageous.Decided to buy a new quilt, supposedly "100% Pure White Goose Down" and made in the UK. Turned out to be 5% goose down, and made in China
Humbys brand
Outrageous.
That 5% may be 100% goose down, I guess.
Reminds me of Chuck Connors guesting on Laugh-in as a hamburger magnate celebrating his billionth burger sold: "And that represents over ten pounds of beef!"You might find that "100 % Pure White Goose " is merely a brand name...much like the nefarious McDonalds with its 100% Pure Aussie "Beef....which begs the question what the hell have I been eating because my steaks don't taste like the droppings of an unhealthy bassethound.?
I once saw a newspaper ad (yep, I'm old) for solid oak wood bookcases on sale. Ran down to the store and upon inspection, saw that they were made of particle board. I pointed this out to the salesman who replied, "Yes! All the wood particles are oak."Decided to buy a new quilt, supposedly "100% Pure White Goose Down" and made in the UK.

Now that's salesmanship...
