Thursday’s questions are here.
As I write this, a couple of hours before it will appear, Gravedodger has won an electronic jelly sponge for stumping everyone.
I’ll leave it to Richard to claim one too if Bulaman’s answer isn’t close enough. I’ve got an extractor fan which sucks down, rather than the more common one that sucks up, and turning it on when dealing with onions helps keeps tears at bay.
Gravedodger also gets the electronic bag of biscuits for the most inventive or humorous answer.

The Onion Answer: You cut and peel on the bench with cold water running and the window open- this solution is pre extractors. Our cleaner had a part time job in a hospital kitchen in school holidays and was given this hint by an old cook. Come to think of it, it cannot have been too long ago- when did hospital menus contain the exotic onion.
GB: will try your method- apt to forget things like water and windows-one thing at a time—
