It's the end of an era, no longer can i rely upon Tesco Tinned Sweet & Sour Chicken to taste as advertised, it was a reliable fallback.

Now it just tastes sour, for the past 6 months at least and i had a few old cans from last year that were lovely.

First world problems.

can you not just add sugar or honey?

So is she a terf, a melt or both? FWIW I listened to the first quarter of Wolf Hall on audiobook and it seems pretty good but I didn't get around to listening to the rest.

she’s just got outdated opinions, including that the british public just don’t love having a buffoon as a PM

My dad also thinks that if someone walked out in front of his car and he made no attempt at stopping, he'd get off scot free because they were asking for it. I keep telling him a jury probably wouldn't go for that but he seems convinced that his jury would be composed of 12 My Dads

In more "how could the EU do this to me?" news, I feel like the Daily Mail stance in Brexit has become very confused in recent years. I try to avoid reading them entirely, but have they done a complete U-turn, or just a half U-turn where they ended up getting wedged like a supertanker in the Suez?

the mail on sunday and the daily mail have different editors who habitually take opposing sides on any issue so it could be that

So update on the fuelpocalypse from my area.

There are abandoned cars everywhere that have have presumably run out of fuel. Picking my partner up and dropping a colleague of hers off before 06:00 today and every petrol station bar one has run completely dry. That one station is now showing all green on Google Maps so I’d wager that has now also run out.

I also had an emergency call out I was due to attend this morning which has been aborted because the crews don’t have enough fuel to make the trip and can’t get any anywhere. My partner also told me more than one person has been suspended at her place after being caught stealing diesel from the HGV fuel supplies they keep in their yard.

People are still driving like morons and in an uneconomical fashion so despite the shortage few seem to be trying to conserve what they have. I pulled out every trick I have in the book and managed to average nearly 52mpg on this mornings run. For a 2 litre petrol I’m pretty pleased with myself not gonna lie.

while i quite like driving my automatic in traffic, i really miss just driving everywhere in fifth gear nice and chill

Is the Army getting involved?


Military tanker drivers are ready to help deliver fuel.
The BBC has been told that 75 military drivers are on standby initially, and another 75 could be added if needed.
They will get training - which could take up to five days - to prepare for the deployment.
Ministers say it is a "sensible, precautionary step" to offer temporary extra driver capacity.
