They're certainly trying to clamp down on it.

I had the temerity to order items as a guest and then send them to someone else. This has been interpreted as the recipient being the customer, so I can't query the goods' non-arrival...

Today I am mostly thinking about the popular inter-war literary genre 'animal stories written by fascists'. Join me.

Title page of a collection of animal stories by Henry Williamson: TARKA THE OTTER, SALAR THE SALMON, THE EPIC OF BROCK THE BADGER, CHAKCHEK THE PEREGRINE.

Small town food festival winding up for day one of two. Pricey donuts bought, spenny sausage rolls swerved, and chancing fuckers with their lazy street food given teh evils. In the park with passable lager in plastic while hopeful teens in the bandstand are indifferent to whatever key the song's in.

Word I've never read before pops up: "bosky" which, I'm told, means tree-lined, wooded, covered by/in foliage.
