Nice, ordered mine, checked out the preview and each one made me smile at the memory, great drawings and great choices.

It is a little known fact that tonight's clock re-adjustment was pioneered by German-British artist Frank Auerbach, to the great dismay of the proponent of the original change, politician Konrad Adenauer

I think it would be quicker for me to approach it from the other end and list any culture I have been exposed to!

Since I was a teenager (when a lot of the sell-offs happened) it seems obvious that getting rid of assets is clearly finite and always leaves the original owners/benefactors (in this case us as a country) with no assets, in a weak position and completely dependent on whoever now owns them.

Why do they always seem to put single words in inverted commas that actually are the thing they say they are. Makes me read them in a really sarcastic way. Expanded - "It wasn't a proper boulder, more like a pebble"

It's all such a massively disappointing betrayal of the faith put in Labour by the one thing we thought we had any way to influence the future direction with - our vote
