I made a meal from all the out of date tins, and never told the family. They wolfed it down despite some elements being from the last century 💪
A friend once cast a knowing look to her mum who rolled her eyes when I said her-me-own-ee instead of Hermione. A brief moment of shame at feeling stupid for not knowing, then anger at their condescending response. Also cheddar is always mature (rhyme nature) in our house after 5yo mispronounced it

That is the absolute dog’s danglers. I don’t use public transport but I still want one for the local busses. Yep…a keeper
Best curry house for miles… say hi to Mof and the lads!
Great intro to Daniel Finkelstein's column www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
