As for talking/bleeping cars, I think all manufacturers should make a basic non-electric gadget car for those of us who don't want or need nannying! Maybe a car we can fix ourselves when it goes wrong?

No no no How Will I know how to switch the wipers and headlights on.

Nothing nicer than a slice of stale malt loaf wrapped around your teeth

Surely fresh is better? A bit stickier, granted, but malt loaf ain't supposed to do anything other than slither down your gullet.

It used to be what I always took on rides, but as im hopeless at portion control, i ended up eating half at a time

While I often think brand stuff is overrated and supermarket own or cheaper brands just as good, like Warburton's for crumpets and Kellog's for corn flakes anything other than Soreen malt loaf just tastes wrong, mostly due to the much grainier/drier consistency.

And just as some purists forbid cinnamon in a crumble, on no account should you butter malt loaf, that's just heathenic

In my defence, I'm actually not that keen on rhubarb. But it does go stunningly well in a crumble together with bananas

I've started collecting pairs of shoes in my living room again. I'd made a special effort to keep them in the hall by the door which worked for a while but now they're back.
