@AllStrauss @HawksmoorTweets @jayrayner1 I’m a big fan of the flat French ‘non’

@HawksmoorTweets @jayrayner1 must be brilliant when they go abroad and no one gives a fuck

Blimey, the reader emails i'm receiving today, which are great in number and essentially come down to WHY WON'T RESTAURANTS CATER TO MY EVERY SPECIFIC NEEDS AND WHY WON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

Man of his word.

Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

If a bank fails, aside from public money concerns, we don't give a shit. In fact, much contempt is directed at the bank and the directors. Usually justified. If a small set of East London wine bars fail, it's all sympathy, broken heart emojis, love and sadness.

Half of British television always starts like this.

@theboydonefood Early Feb for a weekend. Nice one!

@theboydonefood I’m going next month and will follow this thread, thanks Will, for the scouting mission 😁

@imgrandsure This happened to my Dad. He sent the money but, thankfully, the bank declined it and called him. Why do they want the photo? For a longer con?
