Chicken Tikka is Indian. Chicken Tikka Masala is from Glasgow.

Back to work after a holiday wasn’t ideal, but that’s the way it goes. This weekend was nice, though.

You just have to love the TFL staff who do this.

One could say that, but I don’t care one bit! I’m having a wonderful time and even enjoy walking in the wind and rain with our dogs.

Hah, I’ll just leave it.

Black Rock Sands beach tomorrow. Our dogs will love it. Maybe Goleudy Tŵr Mawr on Wednesday.

There are clear contrasts for sure.

Most people would struggle to see a difference between Oxford and Cambridge style, but contrast them to for example Colchester and the difference is night and day. The latter has the highest proportion of loud car exhaust mods in the UK, probably, which seems to be the young male style there.

Go to any town in Norfolk and you’ll struggle not to see tweed and Barbour coats. Most dogs will sport distinctly countryside coats in winter rain.

Bristol would be unique compared to any of the above. You’ll probably get a sense of a certain hippie style as you weave past the old style WV camper vans some people live in.

Newcastle has yet different style, especially on a weekend night. Typical ladies outfit could probably be best described as scant, any time of the year.

Then there is the smallest city of the UK (by area), the City of London. I’m not sure what to even say about their style. Actually, I don’t even want to comment further about those knobs.

It’s been nice to finally get a brief holiday. We came to North Wales on Thursday and will stay also for this week. We did a day trip today to Baddgelert on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways. Steam locomotive and all! I recommend you travel with them if you get the opportunity.

Best way to squirrel away those sweet grifting profits, innit.

Can we this time just leave Boris dangling there? You know, as a warning to everybody.

I dropped a chopping board on my foot and the big toe now has a new colour scheme. Not recommended.

Past week was good. Yesterday I made beef wellington for the first time ever, and it was not a complete disaster. That counts as a win.

That’s not Wanksy (although he is a wanker). This is wanksy

I’d be shocked if somebody produce evidence showing that for once Boris behaved with integrity and to a high ethical standard.

Nah, I just don’t understand idiots.

I asked a fairly simple question to tomtits. Quite why you felt the urge to inject your thoughts as a response, going as far as explaining what tomtitis said on their behalf, is rather baffling. Jog on, will you.

Do you mean flag waving is always about racism?

Thanks for an interesting answer. It baffles me that you are being downvoted.

As a wise meme I saw the other day stated, worrying about things works: 95% of the things I worry about never happen!

Shrinkflation annoys me deeply, and even more so when they try to hide. Which would be most cases. Package looks the same, volume is conveniently where you don’t notice it, the price might be only slightly higher, but you get 20% less.
