Have you discovered a very old box of Christmas crackers ?

More like damp squibs...

The equivalent in my day was barber school (not my choice) ... they could still nick you with an electric razor.

Funeral?
Sombre service = definition
can be = Double Definition
amusing = Fun
time to laugh = eral (The age of)

I find myself in need of enlightenment. When I tried to solve this I guessed FUNERAL basing it solely off a def of "sombre service" and "amusing" for FUN. But I could find no reference to ERAL that meant "time to laugh" or "the age of" anything. Could you perhaps point me in the right direction? Thank you.

I'm the Solver, you should be asking the Setter.
It's possible that my puzzle solution this morning was incomplete. This looks more correct:
Sombre service = definition
can be = Double Definition
amusing = Fun
time = era
to = junction indication
laugh = L
L - Laugh in Internet Slang
If you ever want to design a puzzle that I won't be able to solve, just use internet slang.
You will have to ask Pete if it's correct.

No, no need. I'm sure you're correct. As soon as I saw the L pulled off leaving ERA I face-palmed so hard there are fingerprints on my forehead. So obvious. Thank you.

L is just the first letter of laugh I don't do internet slang either.

And it is the price of hamburgers.
We had two hamburgers with fries and a drink in the town of Blavand and found out afterwards that our bank account was 60 Euros lighter!
(the hamburgers were of good quality btw)

Be fair - the drink was a bottle of wine each ...

It was a beer and an ice-tea if I remember well, for some reason ice-tea is very expensive too in Denmark ...
|
|
|
|
|
It's obviously the water content of the drinks that makes them so expensive. In future, ask for dehydrated drinks!

I keep an emergency supply of dehydrated water in the car in case I get stuck in traffic and get thirsty.

No, I make my own.
I have an Instant Pot[^] - it has a dehydrate function.

It's a strange land, we also found that we only paid 36 Euro for 35 liters of Euro95 at a gas station in Blavand
|
|
|
|
|
That's because the petrol contains very little water.

Wish we had that price - last time I refueled the car it cost me £1.95/l: €2.25!

Luckily I managed to get back home in the Netherlands on one tank of gas, thanks to my new Skoda Fabia.
As the prices in Germany are very high at the moment, it makes no sense to tank in Germany anymore for us.
Strange times indeed!

My last gas stop cost me $12.32 (US) for 11.8 liters ($1.04/l). Of course the last time this car saw a gas pump was May 6th.

I refuelled at Asda in Watford today at 168.7p/l, smirking that just literally across the road in Sainsbury it was 169.9p/l. That saved me over 10 bob in "real" money.
Then I drove to Aylesbury where it was 153.9p/l.
Seems to be heading in the right direction for a change!
