Why do we still insist on imposing 1 hour of JETLAG on the UK population, with absolutely no scientific or financial benefit to anybody? Whats the point in persisting with this anachronism that increases heart attacks and road traffic accidents just after the change?

@MartinSLewis Is the mileage measured from MOT to MOT. Really easy to implement since it’s already recorded at MOT. What about the 1st 3 years (before MOT)

@MartinSLewis My Bills.xlsx tracks DDs SOs & Continuous charges, so I never get surprised by the annual amounts that are sometimes slightly cheaper than monthly amounts.

Hello folks. Just got back to the hotel after the show. Hope you enjoyed our last official show of the series. #DDday seemed to work (i wasn't sure it would) and the audience here in Newcastle were great, wonderful to feed off their energy. Now going to have a drink (a soft one in my case) with the team and crew.

I finally got around to reading the "American goes to Wetherspoons" piece and greatly enjoyed it. I wonder how loud the sneering is in real life though. Certainly the sneering exists on the internet, but in the real world I assume most people like it too. unherd.com/2023/12/why-sn…

India has become the first country to successfully land a spacecraft near the south pole of the moon so why did we send them £33.4 million in foreign aid which is set to rise to £57 million in 24/25 Time we get our money back.

The cask Prize Old Ale was tasting well last night. Let's just say it was, um, more-ish. A fine piece of brewing from @Darkstar_Henry. Also good to chat with @fermentradio and Kate @HandBrewCo Where did those five hours go?
Dark Star Brewing Co@Darkstarbrewco

Gale’s Prize Old Ale is a remarkable and award-winning, century-old survivor. @Darkstar_Henry has resurrected the beer, blending the original with a freshly brewed batch of the original recipe. Join us as we celebrate over 100 years of history. 🙌 📍 @thebasketmakers 🗓 03.11.22
