Just listened to a fab episode of Just a minute. One of the topics was Yorkshire.

Not just Metro stores. Apprroximately 100 full time staff being let go at the nearest large one.

There is a Tesco Express near here, with about one dozen staff, and a post office inside the store.

Travel tip for the United States:

When asked if you want the biscuits and sawmill gravy breakfast, say No.

Mmmmm!

Need some gin with that.
I tend to rather use Teutonic to refer to Germanic folks everywhere, and see Germans as living in Germany, possible exception as Bavarians are seen as different from most Germans. Probably maternal influence there. In place of actual experience, substitute assumptions and lore.

Eldest Son has German nationality, and lives in Germany. So far so Teutonic. However he's half Japanese; and if that isn't enough was actually born in Bavaria.

Except it's on the Swabian side of the old border.

I'm not sure how we should classify him. Possibly as 'confused'...

Oh, and he also has Welsh ancestry...

Forgot to add. He's planning on using it to his advantage by telling employers that by employing him they can instantly reach any 'racial diversity target' the government cares to set...

A bit like me then...

I am British; I was born a Cockney, raised a Gooner and am now a fenland gal. But... I am half Belgian, a quarter German and a quarter Polish by ancestry. If that's not mixed up, then I don't know what is.

Shouldn't have been any other topic, if they was one about Yorkshire.

Sorting out burger and onions for lunch - to eat while listening to the Grand Prix

Vettel... Words fail me...

 

[Reynard]

Now Leclerc... And he gets away with only a "naughty boy" flag...

FIA definitely stands for Ferrari International Assistance...

At the top of the screen, penalty for starting the race on tyres.

Always a good idea to have wheels on your car at the start of a race I think.
