I thought the UK had to emulate Singapore and Silicon Valley. I can't keep up.

Dog, trees, wotnot

I'm in a forest with the hound, being rained on by chestnuts and walnuts. Don't have to watch demos anymore.

"While Britian was struggling to build a high speed railway from somewhere outside London to somewhere outside the North, we distracted everyone with 'Look over there! Would a giraffe wear a tie under its chin or above its shoulders?'"
Who cares, and the railway got partially abandoned.

If Kemi's apprenticeship was so good, why did she take two degrees after that?

We have a diminishing section in the supermarket, very pricey, 7 euro salad cream, fray bentos pies, John Smith's bitter, ... Shite really.
Jars of mincemeat that sells out on Dec 1st and gets replenished on Feb 1st, then sits there, shelf full all year. Repeats every year. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've got 2 tins left in the larder, dangerously low levels if you live in France.
I've got a "mule" visiting next month from UK, Christmas is saved!

Then along came Branston beans. Life-changing.

Once I was earning my own money it was Heinz all the way, no more co-op or kwik-save own brand for me, I was going places.
Then the beans got harder & fewer, the sauce became a juice and they became generally disappointing (unless you cooked them in the frying pan after bacon).

I'm evangelical about a certain brand of baked beans, never mind the lunch/dinner/tea debate, which hill of beans will you die on?

I'm happy with that. I used to be a Beaker.

We stayed on the boat Sarah in Guidecca next to the Hilton. Was different and a great experience with a an ever-changing view. Hop on a vaparetto to cross the canal in the morning. Got a bit choppy around 5am when the Greek ferries started arriving. Loved it.

Not worth it in our local supermarket ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, the reductions are bobbins, aptly labelled "anti-gasp" (anti-waste), 6 euro steak, REDUCED TO 5.75!

He's not in a position to do anything "right now" and not guaranteed in the future, either.
Sorry Bob, that's just how it is.
