Circa 1985 I told my wife that Dexy's Midnight Runners had all been killed when their van overturned on the M6.
She believed it for well over 2 decades, until she saw them (alive) on Jools Holland.
No idea why she didn't question why they'd all still be travelling in a van, after lots of big hits...

But... But... That's actually TRUE!
It was in 1974.
OK, you may have embellished a few minor details, but you got the main points correct.
I'd stick with it. 👍

The Elizabeth line is just an outrage.
From midtown, my friends can get home to Maidenhead quicker than I can get home to Saaf East London.
Maidenhead FFS! 🙄

In a sea of embarrassing stupidity, the best bit is this -
Since 2010 all UK ISPs and mobile operators have provided parental controls for free.
Every parent has the ability to control internet access at the household or device level.
I wonder why the Gov didn't just promote this existing solution?

Never underestimate the ability of modern people to not appreciate the value of traditional cookware...
"it's just a heavy old pot..."
or...
"I've burnt this... I can't be arsed to clean it out..."

Again with Le Creuset I wouldn't use real (i.e. Chlorine based) bleach - unless you dilute it a lot.
If you're worried about pathogens then just heat it up to 180 degrees C for 20 minutes...
A great find - our Le Creuset cast iron set is now over 30 years old. It just works. 👍

With Le Creuset you have to be very careful to not damage the top layer of the enamel - sodium bicarbonate is a mild abrasive which works well but takes time and effort. Also non-metal scourer obviously.

At last I have some relevant experience to offer.
Last week my wife seriously burnt a casserole in a same size Le Creuset. She thought we'd have to junk it but I got to work with a plastic scourer and loads of Sodium Bicarbonate (3 tubs @59p) and after 2 hours it was back to normal...
