Anyway, my most N London story is when son went to new friend's house for primary school playdate he said there was a Nobel Peace Prize for the mum framed in the bathroom and I said "haha that's because she has four kids and they're making a joke" but it turned out she'd won the Nobel Peace Prize.

I do question the wisdom of putting a news item about Dolly Parton's video telling everyone she's OK right after a news item all about AI fakery.

At the time, I was only in 2nd year of uni, flatmates were mostly art students, it seemed like a hip kind of vaguely shabby place. Then you look back and go, shit, that was an actual fucking deathtrap.

"Burger" is not a "meat term". "Sausage" is not a "meat term".
Don't be such a fucking dunce.

'Aving a "bur-ger", are we sir? [sniff] That dun't look like no meat to me sir, now does it sir?

I imagine the people of Glamorgan might be quite rightly pissed off about this.

Sorry, this is a bunch of egregious horseshit.
