Our son is in Supported living. Recent reassessment from Housing Benefit credits him with a Post Office Savings Account. News to us all. HB have provided the last four digits of the account. Cannot discover how to reassert his ownership. Can anyone sign post us how to start the process?

and then I found the silver Bentley I borrowed from a friend whose name I can’t recall had £13k in used notes in the glove compartment, which was nice.

Our house had a landline. My girlfriends family did not. She would go to a public phone kiosk by her house and call me at 10 pence charge. When her 10 pence ran out I would call her back. It worked. We got married.

One winter's night my friend and I found ourselves in a pub in Biker playing pool. He's a Manc. I'm a Scouser. Friendly natives. Great night. But we found out why it's call Exhibition bitter. We made a right show of ourselves!

There is paint and then there is this. Railings in Manchester 2019. Wonder if paint is the only thing holding the ironwork together?

Basel is looking good for bikes. Is bike theft a problem in Basel? If not what do they do in Basel that we could adopt in the UK? Here is a snap of bike storage at Manchester Victoria Station in August 2019. Can only hope this has improved.

Book for Sagrada Familia. Not because it is a church but because this is one man's vision. He designed this without a computer. It is unique. It will remain unique. Go fill your senses.

Sitting in a cafe. Music over the house system plus some dude broadcasting his personal music choice, possibly from a phone. Why? Earbuds are really inexpensive. Much better experience for them than going into competition with the house system. Make it make sense for me, please.

I love painting my shadow. I live in a flat that gets the best light flooding through in the summer months and it's one of the best things.

Interesting post. To me the ability of English to adopt foreign words and phrases is a reason to celebrate. In the same way that immigrants have enriched this country so the inclusion of these words and phrases elevates our language. We accept, adopt rather than take. That is how I see it.

Whichever way you look at it English is really hard to kill off. Whatever is done to it the marshmallow that is English simply rolls over the intruder and absorbs it without a second's thought. We are Borg baby.

The English are the same about food. We will culturally appropriate any nation's cooking without the least shame. In the UK curry is ubiquitous. On Merseyside we have curry halvie-halvies. That is curry poured over rice and chips on the same plate. Favourite order in a takeaway.
