Why was Hilda Ogden pretending she was called Vera Rice?

What, all their beliefs? For example, if I stood for parliament would I have to tell the voters that I believe Big Country were better than U2?

I've stayed in Travelodges with worse views.

Why not?

I wonder why there's such a strong correlation between starting to lose your hair very young and being a young Conservative.

I stay for things like asking the train company how long the delay is going to be.

Yes - in 2012 I used Facebook to get a lift back to Devil's Dyke after a cross-country paraglider flight to Pulborough.

Slurry, not silage.

Red wine tastes terrible if you drink it while eating something sweet.

I think it's like chicken but you use chimpanzee meat instead. I hear it tastes like chicken.

And is the shop next door really called Corleone?

I sometimes think that I shouldn't have gone, or at least not at the age (18 and a half) that I did go. I went because my parents and teachers expected me to, not because I had any idea of why I should go or why I should study what I did (classics).

The car blocking the pavement is the icing on the cake.

The designer or the politician?

Is it the designer or the politician?

I don't know hold old this picture is. It's not too outrageous that the artist thought Ben Macdui was higher than Ben Nevis - but what had he or she been smoking to think there was a four thousand foot mountain in Shetland?

Neville Neville!

HS 123 used as a fighter?
CR 42 used as a fighter in 1943-4?
Avia B-534 used as a fighter in 1943-4?

I can't see any substantial evidence for any of these claims.

What biplanes were being used as fighters in 1943 and 1944?

It's a bit odd to assume that everyone reading your Bluesky post deserves a pay rise.

The voters?

If you google "women-only swimming sessions near me" you'll find that it's quite common.

Lots of public swimming pools have women-only sessions.
