Thank you.
At the very start of this Covid thing early last year, I suggested on here that we should all wear a face mask, and gloves of the soft garden variety that can be washed out each day. Although few...

When I give to any charity, I pay for some kind of work to be carried on for improvement in life for either humans or animals, not something to look at.

I’m not sure it’s a British legal requirement to have a fit- to- fly certificate in order to travel to Egypt. He was going to Cairo where the Egyptians require a negative PCR test. If he was going to...
New royal yacht named after Prince Philip to be 'commissioned within weeks', costing as much as £200m

Yes it is all about fees, which by some rather interesting twist boiled down to the appearance (“speak Arabic, look like an Egyptian”). You meant, the complexion? That is, in my experience, the very...

When I lived on the narrowboats there was a great bar in Little Venice, where we would sometimes drink.
