That’s about £206,000. That wouldn’t buy you my 2 bedroom 1 bathroom mid-terrace house here. And by wouldn’t buy I mean you’d be around £100k short. Different fucking worlds.

I’m betting you don’t live in Turnham Green, or anywhere close 🙂

I’m assuming the cupboard next to the shower contains the khazi, with the throne facing the shower. You’d be able to sit, at a suitable straining angle but unless you’re short standing for a piss is going to be a problem. I guess the washing machine is in a communal area somewhere in the building.

Nothing new if so, the UK has a long record of supplying arms to dodgy regimes which then comes back on UK nationals.

Was a weapon that was made in Birmingham”

We could give them duvet jackets. A look down any local high street suggests suitable sizes are already available 🙂

Many people in that part of the world retain the ability, largely lost in the “west”, to squat with their feet flat on the floor. That reduces the strain on the knees/leg muscles while “straining “ 🙂

With so many traditional events being associated with pubs this sort of thing is going to become increasingly a problem sadly as the property companies that now own them (thanks a bunch Thatcher) close them and redevelop them chasing a quick profit 🙁

In a happier vein, thanks for the pointer to that website 🙂

Thereby tieing you to your ISP forever unless you were willing and able to keep changing your email address.

Never. Use. Your. ISP's Included. Email. Service.

Did the Bun Ceremony even happen this year? I've seen a few "What's On" listings showing it - probably cut'n'pasted from wherever you soursed that list - but as far as I can discover The Widow's Son closed (again) in September 2023, its webste is a 404, and its ****book page hasn't been updated since 2022.

Gonna need extra mint sauce.

Effectively already started to happen. Restrictions on use and higher tax and other charges for older cars designed to “encourage” people to buy newer ones, nearly all of which are in some way connected.
