WHY?

Because it comes from Old English cnīf.

I presume the c was a 'hard' c in OE.

As in Cnut

Kniv in Danish.

Kwite korect thatbags!

Why haven't I seen Ogen melons in the shops for years?

Because oven went out with the ancient Irish!

I typed OGEN!

Ah! That's ogham!

Why can't I get 'cocktail sized' haggis by mail from jenners any more?
They were ideal for me as a meal. The haggis you can get in England are horribly bland, I like mine peppery.

Waitrose sell Mc sween haggis Galen. That is the Scottish company that appears to have the monopoly.

I buy those in Waitrose, but, Galen doesn't like MacSween's

Galen Charles Macleod from Stornoway sell wonderful Black pudding and Haggis

Why can't I buy Oxtail soup in a packet anymore? Tinned Oxtail soup just doesn't do the same thing for mince and onions that a packet of soup did . My mother-in-laws mince and onions with oxtail soup was to die for and I used to cook it a lot but now its just not the same without the soup mix.. you used to be able to buy those little cardboard boxes of soup , can't get those anymore either.

Why can't I buy proper bleach anymore? Not the gel stuff, it doesn't whiten anything!

Talking of bleach why can't I get the tops off any more?

And why are toothpaste tubes made of plastic so you can't roll them up any more?

Aka
You can move the toothpaste up the tube. If you have a sharp surface, just pull it down over the end of the worktop (or whatever) so all the paste is forced up to the top. Then fold it over and put a bulldog clip on it. My DiL think it is hilarious when she sees these little clips on the end of the tube but my thrifty soul always wins out. Diton sauce bottles standing on end stuck to a lump of blutack so they don't fall over!

Why don't they sell man-sized tissues anywhere in France? Why are they called man-sized tissues?

Why are shampoo and shower gel bottles narrower at the bottom than the top, causing them to fall over into the bath.

What's the shape of the universe and if it has a shape what's outside it.

Why is everything over packaged?

Why do you all keep asking questions?
