That's not shithousery, it's his solemn duty as a resident of our fair city when visiting the Dark Place along the A52.

'statutory entitlement' - as in provided by the State, or landlords have to agree to you installing one?

Also WTF is a cat ladder?

Watching MotoGP and cycling on the telly, it's always a good indicator that English is not someone's first language: super happy to win etc. Also the use of 'for sure' which we never say.

Any landlord/barperson worth their salt should be happy help and recommend something that meets your taste (or is at least nearer than Old Scrotum).
If they are disdainful of your plight, take your custom elsewhere (if possible, obvs).

Danny Baker said pretty much the same on the radio many years ago: the reason 'Rare groove' is rare is because not many were sold when it was first released, and the reason not many were sold is it just wasn't very good.

Yeah, Lincolnshire isn't famous for being wooded. Now if it's wolds you're after, you're in the right place!

Sausage and eggs and toast are part of a full English, so think of it as a portable breakfast combo.

Even without that reasoning, the answer is "It's never too early for a scotch egg"

The sound of silence. And I don’t mean Simon and Garfunkel.

When I was a kid, our cars were so old/shit they came with an AM radio and nothing else. The car’s ignition coil wasn’t suppressed, so all you could get was crackly radio overlaid with noise from the engine. So we had nothing.

One near me plays "O sole mio" (aka the Cornetto tune, for those of us ancient enough to remember). Strikes me as ironic they use a tune from an advert that ceased to be shown long ago, for a product they don't sell.
