If you laid all the sweets, made by Wakefield District's Haribo factory for Halloween, in a line, you'd have enough to give every child in Great Britain type 2 diabetes.

Classy when you're rich but trashy when you're poor.

-Hey, we've just dumped a load of pumpkins in that field over there. Do you want to pick one up?

-Yeah, sure.

-Ok, that'll be Β£25 please.

I've just found out I've been pronouncing Poke Bowl incorrectly. I can't show my face in Leeds ever again.

I'm pretty sure stone theft was pretty common when I was a kid in the 1980s. Although I can't find specific stats on it as they didn't seem to break down those crime figures. Generally things in those days were a lot less well maintained.

I think the driving factor for stone theft

Drill a hole through one of those and you've got a nice souvenir keyring.

How many fingers do they have in Norwich? Are they hoarding fingers?

Rumours say they both have a Timpsons.

Both have a cathedral with a Harry Potter quad on the side. Both have people who talk posh. Case closed.

I'm beginning to think Norwich and Durham are actually the same. Have you ever seen them both in the same same place as the same time? Thought not.

I wish people would shut up about not being able to say anything anymore. I'd call them out but you're not allowed to say anything anymore. I'm not even allowed to post this post anymore.

Absolutely. Yarn Bombing is far worse and probably somehow anti - semetic...

I think we should declare all Guerrilla Signers as terrorists. What do you think @loudribs.bsky.social?
