Hard agree. Also, "All washed down with..." from food reviews really really annoys me. As if you're sluicing a dirty barn.

Just googled "Dr. Pepper right wing" on a hunch and it seems it's MAGA coded, often prominently on show by MAGA/Republicans in e.g. congressional hearings, and invented in Waco, Texas. So matey here is trying to tell us something.

"What's for supper Mum?"

"Spaghettoes"

Works perfectly. My point stands.

Why do we say "spaghetti" in English? Should it be "spaghettoes"? We don't say "potati" do we?

People will have fresh fruit and coffee in winter for breakfast, wash with soap, dress in clean cotton & linen, live in warm houses with clean water, eat meat every day, have access to sugar and painkillers whenever they want & STILL think "Nah. I would have been better off in the 14th century..."

We have Zambian, Malawian, West Indian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Punjabi, and Scottish plotholders on my little allotment site in SE England. Do you know who doesn't integrate? The English, who are almost all rude and unpleasant. Everyone else is lovely, sharing plants and seeds and chatting away.

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick
