My wife looks forward to asking an offbeat question every year, hope she continues her success rate (you gave us some great wedding-day playlists for our silent disco last year)

You can get cheap android based mp3 players which have Spotify but the airpods experience isn’t great — an old iPhone with no cellular & locked down via screen time would be my suggestion. You can lock them down to only allow specific apps.

The US was 80/20, so 20% fat :)

If you compare like for like with 20% beef it’ll be £7/kg, so ~£3.20/lb , $4.30/lb? Add on sales tax and the US meat is probably 50% higher per lb.
