The reason Robert Jenrick didn’t see any ‘white faces’ in Birmingham is because he was looking at these grey tits

Lovely start to today; opened our living room curtains and a Hummingbird Hawk Moth was hovering outside, flitting from flower to flower. I saw one in summer a few years ago but didn't expect to see one on a damp October day. Couldn't get a decent video, so here's a BBC one:

Literally the only thing that's stuck in my mind from all the episodes of Cannon I watched as a kid is the booming voiceover in the credits saying, "A QUINN MARTIN PRODUCTION".

Sorry, The Guardian - a whole article on how the pumpkin "took over the world", and no mention of Linus?

Pumpkin power! How this garish gourd took over the world

Whether you want a mug, tealight holder or fidget spinners, all are available with a pumpkin theme. Festivals are dedicated to the orange fruit, and there are countless recipes to try. Why are they suddenly October’s overlords?

You may well be right, but you could ring and see if they charge a callout fee. If not, you'd have nothing to lose.

Jules, before you leap into paying for a new machine, might it not be worth checking with a repair company in case it's something straightforward? I'm sure there are many in your area, but this is the first one that cropped up in a search:
