Just dipped my toe back into the bad place and it appears that the "London Banana" is becoming a serious talking point amongst idiot people

Given that my parents recently saw someone leaning out of one in San Fran berating tourists as their taking of a group photo was confusing their Waymo into motionlessness, I am confident that your statement will hold true.

Doing nothing to dispel the "north Londoners are out of touch" concept

Eugh. Good luck with it! If it's any consolation I booked my line manager in for an annual performance review and promptly missed it.... Which feels somehow symptomatic of my year....

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?”
Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”
