Urgh, so at least I now know what this bastard virus *isn't*, but I still don't know what it *is*. Three days of misery, no sign of improvement yet. Like I said, bastard virus.

Will the senior editorial staff of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social now resign because they have misleadingly spliced a story about dirty public toilets with their old material about The Netty?
Oxford has the fifth highest number of dirty public toilets according to a new report. York, Bath and Cambridge topped the chart. The report was based on google reviews for public toilets.
