ChatGPT tells me that a hot cross bun in 1733 (when it might cost one a penny) should now cost about 88p. Meaning a modern hot cross bun is actually a bit of a bargain Graph below. Please feel free to check its workings. chatgpt.com/share/67feb1...

11 years ago. When my daughter told nursery I could shoot fire from my hands. And when they told me that when I picked her up I just said 'Yup' and walked off.

If you want to visit a village as picturesque as the one in The Holiday then visit my aunt's tea shop here Hilly's Tea Shop g.co/kgs/jUc3dV6 It's the actual village from The Holiday I haven't technically been paid for this message, but she used to tape Smarties to the door when I visited so...

I don't know if restaurant recommendations are worthwhile, but... My daughter and I were at a loose end and we've stumbled upon an American Diner in a converted chapel on an industrial estate (converted from an old country estate...) in the middle of nowhere. And it's joy. maxsdiner.co.uk

A friend sent me this graph today. It's worth noting that 1. 2024 is a very long year 2. The organisation did fantastically well to survive with a share price of negative pounds for so long
