Has Britain gone down the drain?
I think Richdog is what is known these days as a "gammon". I can picture him in his armchair, bottle of brandy in hand, shouting at the kids to "git daaan yer own end!" before turning back to the telly to watch David Attenborough…

Serial Groaner "Pilatus Fan"
There comes a time in life when sometimes we just have to stop and ask what the hell we're doing. Do we really want to be so damn cynical and sarcastic all the time? Is that who we are?
I don't believe you're that person. I believe…

Bicarbonate
You can get different grades of bicarbonate soda. I buy a food grade with no aluminium for baking and a cheaper grade (that I presume contains aluminium) for my cleaning. I would buy a food grade for my cat :-)

Hello!
Maybe this is part of the difference. Of a half-a-dozen folk who come to mind, here in Switzerland, who are vegetarian and some vegan, I can't think of one who would use shower gel, of all products.
Depending on your particular…

But! That doesn't mean anything.
Your account could be on a different shard of the database that is unavailable right now or a thousand other reasons.

Hello chili heads,
I have never realised I was a chilli head until being here in Switzerland and not having easy access to the corner Indian takeaway curry. I certainly miss a proper and extra spicy lamb rogan josh or bhuna.

Taste-wise I'm not sure there's a…
I don't see why it should prompt people lining the streets in whatever capacity, either to cheer or jeer.
Usually when visiting members of state come to the UK, they just get whisked around from place to place without much in…

How much of a change this will be for you depends on where you live,…
