Anyone who's been north of thw Whatford Gap, east of the M11 or West of the M6 know that England (never mind Britain) has never been a culturally coherent group of people.
What the hell does a “mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people” even fucking mean????

Or a horror story in two words 'dealer attribution'.
I'm waiting for mine to stop turning orange. We still have a steady drip feed of tomatoes turning but I know it's going to stop soon. Lots of green one though of course.

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand.

"The chancellor approved it"
Oh no! Could you do a consultation remotely?
This is a sign you need to bin your Dr!
I've seen this one before - someone suggested they're a bot. Which is not inconceivable.
