Such a useful quantity the “drove”. How many entrepreneurs does it take to form a stampede? Don’t worry, you don’t have to say!

Feeling a bit Monday morning today. But then I saw this and cheered up. Clickbait advertising — a never-failing spring of comedy.

I’m anosmic. I can’t (to save my life) smell gas. But the other night I had a vivid dream about a gas leak which I couldn’t fix. In the morning my wife came up from the kitchen (3 floors down) and said that a gas tap had been left slightly on all night. So, maybe I can smell after all?
