The Bay of Biscay. It was notorious when I were a lad. More ferries back then I suppose.

well as the Pound collapsed after Brexit it shouldn't make much difference.

Literally no country ever benefitted from expelling foreigners.

I felt that the media's treatment of Cobain and Winehouse both flipped the usual gender narrative, at least if what she says is true. Cobain was cared about and treated with concern while Winehouse was seen as a joke, somewhat like Gazza (British former footballer Paul Gascoigne, known for his alcohol-fuelled decline and very much left to it). I don't really remember Cobain, but in the late 2000s it was clear that Amy was on a very self-destructive path and nobody was going to care until she wound up dead.

also probably they drive less, as they're likely to no longer be working for a living and so don't commute?

Is there a time of year to go, when there aren't so many tourists? Although you say it's 'all year round'.

Nebula has a lot of the better YT content and costs much less than that.

Walked to the village (i.e. in the opposite direction to the town), got a takeaway iced coffee. By the time I got home it was no longer iced coffee weather (=raining). Working this afternoon - working days this week are Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Nebula. I did have Spotify but got fed up with not being able to regulate its 'suggested content' list. It was mostly about podcasts for me so I now use a different podcast platform.

Drink tickets should also cover non-alcoholic drinks for those who don't drink alcohol. Otherwise it discriminates against non-drinkers and could be indirect discrimination against, say, Muslims.

If you try crossing one on a Brompton you get about half way. That's what I found.
