You know how this works, I say something pithy, you roll your eyes. Do not expect high quality.

That tracks with what I was told by JT directly a couple of years ago. I'd assumed it was only a time issue and eventually it would be but perhaps not. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Read the book absolutely nobody is talking about, and help to turn it into a book slightly more people are talking about, in what critics are calling "a blatant sales pitch that a 9-year-old could have come up with".

Us Brits are quite stubborn. We don’t like change.

Luckily I am just young enough that i didn’t have to learn pounds shillings and pence. Just as well because it’s a mystery to me.

And a vergee is about 40 square perches. A lot of our land is measured in really old units that track back centuries and centuries.

A perch is just over 5 metres.

People over a certain age switch between miles and km or feet and metres, grams and pounds/ounces pretty casually. Cars though it is almost always mpg and all roads in MPH.

What you'll find is that references in Britain are still commonly in imperial terms but that most actual technical measurements are in metric. There are some niche items across the country. Where I come from we have hectares, perches, a Jersey foot (which is different length to a foot). Most

I’ll be more than happy if you can knock novels out at that rate. Thoroughly enjoyed it and more than happy to spend my ill gotten gains on a sequel.

Some authenticators are good and sensible and reasonable and considerate of users and real life.

Others are Microsoft Authenticator.

Some of the extras in that first series were pretty good too, particularly in the boat scenes in Late for a Funeral. πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‰πŸ‡―πŸ‡ͺ

Or even better (and next to no effort) cure your own bacon and then dice it and add it to a simple soda bread loaf. Both dead easy to make.

Tbf I used to be someone that had to do just this sort of thing on numerous occasions in a large corporate, humans make mistakes a lot. IT departments et al spend a lot of time fixing other people's messes.
