I'm another person who went to university latter in life, studied with quite a few others who did the same, changed our lives for the better. I had A levels but not in the subject I studied, others did not and took a foundation year first.

Stop running out country for property speculators and money lenders. Build only ever for rent council houses. #HousingCrisis

Price of first class stamps to rise to ยฃ1.80 Royal Mail says the increase reflects the rise in delivery costs, but the move angers consumer groups.

Privatization picking our pockets.

Another Royal Mail price hike: Form 7 April 2026 1st class postage price ยฃ1.80, 2nd class 91p.

When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.

RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets. Fines passed to customers. Execs get bonuses.

The currency wasn't the only form of LSD circulating in 1965 Britain.

To be fair, that's over two generations. But I could round that off nicely by once having mistaken Timothy West for my father.

Oh. And I once took a phone message for a friend from a delightful bloke called Arthur who chatted on to me for quite a while. It later emerged that this was Arthur๐Ÿ”ฅBrown.

A yellow sign with black writing which reads Herefordshire rural watch with a pictogram of a black scarecrow with yellow eyes and a crow on its hat.
The sign is on a wooden fence with a churchyard and blue sky just visible behind it

Old news.
In Glasgow they've been having salt and vinegar on their battered and deep fried porridge suppers for decades.

Re-creating the complex cuisine of prehistoric Europeans SEM analysis of pottery residues showed people combined fish with a wide variety of plants when cooking.

This is incredibly interesting โ€” archaeologists have been able to reconstruct the diets of different prehistoric Europeans from 5,000-8,000 years ago by analyzing the charred remains of food in clay pots. Extremely cool!

I'll tell you one which won't be a problem: my father once fell asleep on a train and Julian woke him up, mysteriously knowing it was his stop next.

Recollect meeting an acquaintance in Dorset in the 1990s, things were changing housing costs exceeding low local income, community changing, she like many was feeling it, she especially felt unfriendliness, for her people not raising a hand to acknowledge you when you pulled over on a narrow road.

Whenever some event is reported as having happened in Barnet, I always imagine it playing out inside some elaborate coiffure. I blame Steptoe and Son.
