I have to agree that boring brown beer is a prime reason for cask's decline. There's some great beer available in cask form, varied, interesting beer. But all too often it's the same bland brown stuff available in pubs.

I'm relieved, the Sistine chapel chimney is very similar (aka cheap looking) to that of our café. I was on the verge of suggesting we post some less than deferential chimney-themed posts to our socials #WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong

Bah, May 1945 not 1944, obviously I'd be useless in a war I can't even type the right date 🤦‍♂️

I admit being conflicted by VE Day, of course it's the last practical anniversary to celebrate, but for the under 80s what's it about? The chance to contemplate the stupidity of war, grieve the needless loss of lives, to celebrate victory over fascism, or to have "beaten" Johnny foreigner?

Not all southern trains are great, I live about 60 miles from central London, and I've a minimum of 7 stops between my station and London, it takes around 90 mins and obviously isn't cheap either...

for the average US citizens the tariffs are effectively a sales tax, I wonder when this will sink in?

Are they counting the 1970s as recent? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_(s...

For the many secondary schools that have their timetables, lesson resources and much more tied into software like Google Classroom, the lack of a smartphone will disadvantage individual students
