The holds at the local climbing gym are so caked with chalk, it's difficult to tell what color they are. This makes it difficult to follow a articular route.

I am at a Google thing, in that London, today. The drinks choice is extremely limited. Tea, coffee or water, that is it.

Surely it can't be a Google thing unless it has artisan coffee, select tea (probably including lesbian tea – and hopefully lesbian biscuits too) and organic, filtered, purified water with essence of high-altitude cloud?

It's also sunny and warm and there's a cocktail reception by the pool in a few minutes.

But there's no water in the pool as they're painting it.

Banting friendly= LCHF. For some reason South Africans opted for 'Banting' rather than Keto or LCHF as a title.

Sainsbury's have NO own-brand humous 'due to production difficulties'.

Sainsburys don't have a single UK grown apple for sale. I can chose from Chile, New Zealand or South Africa.

That bike I want to buy is only available with the old 9070 Dura-Ace Di2, not the new 9150.

So I'm not buying it. And that's the only reason. Honest.

They had British Bramleys not long ago but any British fruit you buy will have been store for over 6 months.
They're out of season and British pears I bought recently are DULL.

Same problem with pears. I bought some last week and they did the usual rockhard-to-mush thing within the space of a day, all without even a rumour of flavour starting. My own fault as I know they're not in season, but I do like pears in my lunchtime fruit salad, I can't remember where they were from, but this time of year probably the southern hemisphere. Regardless, that kind of rapid demise is a symptom of long storage.

You could keep the Haribos and drop them in the "charity of choice" slot in Waitrose instead of their tokens of esteem.  That'll learn 'em.
