I claim to be from a council house on the mean streets of Wolverhampton, but here I am eating goose pizza.

I would hide my face too if I had a Make Britain Great baseball cap.

That's like a balloon animal gone wrong. I suppose it is in a way.

I know that McDowell's no.1 is the biggest selling whisky in the world after listening to Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz on BBC iPlayer.
All the top three selling whiskies are Indian.

I'm guessing sitting in the park with some cans & scotch eggs is likely to get you killed too if the local pubs are that bad.

I wrote it off a few months before they let me go (hit a deer). I had a hire car after that, which made me a prime candidate for first in line for making savings.
That's another error HMRC made - a hire car isn't a company car, it's a pool car for tax purposes as it can be taken off you at any time.

Another month. Another (wrong) tax code. I'll make another phone call about my current job not coming with private medical or a company car & see if I can get someone to understand that when you change job, you don't get to keep the car.

I imagine Brum is full to the brim with rats currently

I suppose Rat In Mi Kitchen by UB40 would have to be up there simply because it's got rat in the title & they keep singing about it.

Dixon's Chimney in Carlisle was the eighth tallest chimney in the world when it was build in 1836. I can't find where it ranks these days though.

No need to go to the States to see stuff like Largest Thermometer in the Northern Hemisphere or Second Largest Ball Of Rubber Bands in North America.
