This is the thing, everyone thinks their house is worth millions, their income is what they mean when they talk about ‘high earners’ and it just isn’t.
Shall we see what £2m gets you in York? LOL I bet it’s just a simple 1930s semi detached—oh I see

The fact that all of these papers were fully behind the Kwarteng/Truss budget that nearly catastrofucked us as a nation should tell you everything you need to know
The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

The best hit here is the rightful appreciation of that zookeeper slipping in shit behind a misbehaving pachyderm on Blue Peter
This BBC kids tv advert from 1998 is still very impressive and very lovely

Marzipan fruits are a Christmas tradition for me, wouldn't be Christmas without them. But now I want a marzipan sardine.
Making chocolate things of other things was a thing. For instance, these here did not, thankfully, taste of actual sardines.

This is amazing. You’re probably aware that Terry’s have brought back the chocolate apple, but they’ve called it a chocolate milk. No return of the lemon, but I’d be really interested in trying one.

Because it was originally the Chocolate Apple! The Chocolate Orange was the Christmas special. The Chocolate Apple wasnt apple flavoured, just milk chocolate. It was an apple because apparently Noel Terry used to like having an apple after dinner and cutting them into slices.
if chocolate orange not apple why apple shape

Farage: “I wasn’t trying to be hurtful, antisemitic or racist - I’m just a natural at it”
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

Farage: “I wasn’t trying to be hurtful, antisemitic or racist - I’m just a natural at it”
See the problem with this story is that you’re trying to get us believe that a profoundly racist man is really very racist. And racists - and let’s face it, that’s his target demographic - aren’t going to be put off by that.
Three more school contemporaries who claim to have witnessed Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage racism have rejected the Reform UK leader’s suggestion that it was “banter”, describing it as targeted, persistent and nasty.

The hidden chemical attack that forced the Northern line’s extraordinary repair
Thirty years ago, an entire section of the Northern line had to be replaced because it was under attack from acid, and hardly anyone noticed that it was happening.
