Our local Chinese restaurant has been re-named - to the Wang Kei. This caused some considerable merriment amongst some of the ladies on the East Street Massive's Whatsapp chat.

It's every Englishman's dream to have their own little cottage....

I've had many a good bacon butty from the Eatwell.    I remember the underground one in Victoria St, but was never a patron.  A similar one in Manchester is now a popular bar.

My father was very proud of his knowledge of the locations of public conveniences in his days as a sales rep, although this was in more naive times when middle-class folk didn’t know of cottaging unless they were participants.

Dr Beardy (Mrs) is most impressed with this and feels it would be worthwhile interviewing all 9 children because there’s probably a paper in it. She does have a strange academic interest!

It’s reported in a few places. However, that’s a 488 - which cannot be brand new as it ceased production in 2020 (replaced by the F8). So if it was new to the driver, it could well have come from a non-Ferrari garage.

That makes sense.  There is a pre-owned garage not far from there that deals in expensive cars.

I had to check the date of that article to see that it wasn't 01/04, and it wasn't.
