Some of the products sold in 454g packages like butter, marmalade, and golden syrup might relabel themselves 1lb (℮ 454g). *5 minutes later* Some of the products like butter, marmalade, and golden syrup might still be sold, we don't know.

I prefer kettle on the hob to electric kettle but what with the projected gas prices and with the tin whistle on mine dying, I just got one of those cup boilers (boils between 50 and 250mL at a time, so up to exactly 1x metric cup, as well as being for your cup cup) and it's more convenient than either and supposedly cheaper, which makes sense. Once you get a feel for the amount that it dispenses at each point on the dial you can use it to straight fill gravy, sauces, stuffing, etc without a measuring jug too.

The same? Probably not, but there's so many different types of non-dairy milk now that many people can find one that they like better than dairy. Same with non-sugar sweeteners. Definitely not the same with cheese.

here because there's a lorry with a crane dropping what looks a *lot* like an industrial backup generator into the car park of the school on my estate - the box itself is unmarked (looks like a shortened ISO container) but it is the exact dimensions and has the same side doors as the ones my company uses for temporary backup when working on the UPS at our smaller data centres.

Just a repeat of the US Dems playbook of the 90s, where they end up the party of big business and tough on crime and some of the melt unions, while the Republicans overture as the party of small/medium businesses that mostly sell flags and lovely employment conditions (while also being the party of big business).
