Went to Asda and got some Clipper English Breakfast! Looking forward to trying them out. Don't mind saying I feel like Lord Snooty with my posh tea bags.

So that's why I found them deeply disappointing when I snaffled one from my child selection box last Christmas. So small as well. I mean, I know I'm bigger but they are smaller.

I have realised that I should probably do a taste test and buy all the cheap tea within a 10 minute walk of my house and rank them. For science.

For some reason I thought they substituted the red label for "Scottish Blend" up here, but it's probably more likely I didn't look hard enough!

Sometimes, at Christmas, I wistfully look at the big chocolate coins and pretend it's the 70s again. When life was simplier, browner, and crispy pancake-ier.

Ah yes. Thanks. I did used to drink Clipper, back before kids when we would buy groceries at a farm shop, it was very nice.

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact the only electric car I'll ever own will be a 10 year old Nissan Leaf.

I going to go out on a limb and say you're not really old. Now, I'm old. I'm a full on GenX-er. When I was a kid we had half pence pieces. In fact, all our money was weird and old. Twenty pence and one pound coins were but a dream, 5ps were the size of 10ps, 10ps were the size of a Millie's Cookie and sometimes had a dead King's head on them.

20-30K?! Holy crap. I've never spent more than 10K on a car. But then I've never bought a new car...

Urgh. The only people in our house who watch it are the kids for cake based reality shows and Lego animation. So as soon as they raise the prices it's getting cancelled.

I saw your channel on maker tube (I think) today when I was looking for Jan Beta's channel! You can use NewPipe (Android) as an app for Peertube, but it's a bit fiddly in your normal Fediverse style when trying to find and sub to people/channels. Also, I don't think you really subscribe via NewPipe. Subscriptions are just local and it doesn't use a Fediverse account.

I've heard of three of these movies...

Thankfully (?) my kids exclusively watch Ninjago, Captain Underpants and Nailed It.

I do remember a time when our eldest was 3 or 4 and he would watch the same movie on repeat over and over. The months he was obsessed with Robots and Planes Fire and Rescue were dark indeed.
