@NickBuckleyMBE Speedbumps should be at every crossing.

Cyclists are Gods in the U.K. Laws do not apply to them, courts are afraid of them, and politicians worship them. And the general public unfortunately have to put up with them.

Off to London for the @BIIandBIIAB lunch on Chiswell St in June Be a while since we have been in the smoke, really looking forward to getting around to some great puns we have missed. Shame McGlynns has closed down at the Irish triangle, still have The Boot and The Dolphin !

This Amazon review spans 7 years of updates and involves multiple police visits, lawyers, and even an arrest warrant. Godspeed Fran, wherever you are.

London barmaids are built different.

Goodbye Goodison. Loved #TheOldLady but love Bramley Moore!

May offers here at the Top of Town Ryde.

@JamesMelville UK democracy is just a sham now. Used to justify decisions already made, ignored when convenient. Government irrelevant, voting pointless. They don't serve us. In the words of Imagination, it's all 'Just an Illusion'.

@BenKentish Stamp duty is a huge disincentive for over 65s considering downsizing. If you move from a £1m house to a £500k house, you will have to pay £15k up front in stamp duty just for the privilege. Why would you bother?

Microsoft Edge is really good at its core feature, which is of course to use it to download Chrome onto a new Windows laptop before never using it again.

@kelvmackenzie When politicians stop raking it all in from numerous roles whilst working for us then maybe .....

The blackouts that happened today across Spain & Portugal are a good reason why Cash needs to stay alive. When ATM’s & card machines are down with no power you can’t buy food/water. But good old cash can be used. Cash is king. Long Live Cash. Bosh❤️

@musicstruggles1 @Som91x maybe, but it sounds like he had a hand in rewriting the original, much better version of the script. uproxx.com/movies/jack-ba…

For a £7 pint in London, about £1.40 is VAT (20%) and £0.50 is alcohol duty, totaling around £1.90 in taxes. The pub pays roughly £1.80 per pint for a 50L keg costing £145 (88 pints), factoring in wastage. Operational costs like rent and wages, higher in London, take up £2.70, with wages around £1.50 and rent £1.20. This leaves a slim profit of about 12p, or 1.7%. High rents and taxes squeeze margins, despite demand, contributing to pub closures. Fun fact: London's priciest pint can hit £9.50, but Wetherspoons offers some under £4!

Wine is all we hear these days, ..lets just make the most of it shall we?
