You should hear how they want us to say Aluminium

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 3d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

“…From Docking down to Heacham, shoes are obsolete. The people of West Norfolk have electric feet…”

A screenshot from the video for “Driving to Hunstanton” by the Sea Cadets.

It shows a quiet road into Hunstanton from the point of view of a Biker with just one other motorbike and one car in sight. The words

“From Docking down to Heacham, shoes are obsolete.”

are written at the bottom of the screen

It shows a sweet shop stall covered in Nougat, Rock, Honeycomb and other seaside treats.

Older viewers will possibly remember our pals Stranger Still, they have re released their 1981 single ‘Solitude’ with a bonus 15 track download of old demos/live stuff.
Hope this is in that batch…

Osees are AWESOME.

We keep being asked if we’re playing in one of the secret slots at Glastonbury, no, obviously not, people have seen Mik onsite and assumed wrongly - he has a side hustle Falafel Stall and was probably setting that up. If you’re there, go see Kneecap.
