You don't need to buy vegetables in my neighbourhood - you can pick them on the banks of the river Brent near me from self-seeded plants on a raft of sewage and wet wipes www.londoncentric.media/p/london-riv...
Oh there is more… 56% of Gen Z respondents to a survey said they've had a gravy-related dispute, compared with 17% of over-65s
#Today'sStats GRAVY. We consume an estimated 11m litres of gravy - enough to fill 4 Olympic-sized pools – weekly. RAIN. One inch of rain falling for one hour on the City of London would fill 24-25 Olympic-sized pools. More later as we get it…

I had a good experience, but I did go first thing. I accepted having limited time to look at it as the price you pay for hundreds of thousands of other people wanting to see it too. The corporate event, though, stopping people with tickets entering – that's another story #BayeuxTapestry #R4Today
I went to the Bayeux Tapestry today ⚔️ 🛡️🤴🏻🐴 They kept us moving in an encouraging yet hilarious way. Like: 'Well done guys that's GREAT shuffling. Thank you so much for keeping it moving. So proactive here with the shuffling. Thank you so much!'

If only he hadn't picked up, he could be sitting on the sofa next to his brother clinking beers and talking about a job well done with the loft insulation #TheArchers
See, Grant's rookie error there was to come in to Ambridge from beyond the bypass. One minute he's having a normal Sunday evening. The next, he's been drawn into the vortex of a psychodrama not of his own making #TheArchers

Related: There are an awful lot of 'creative coaches' around who charge their clients for sessions with experts and yet somehow or other can't quite scrape the money together to pay said writers/artists &c for their expertise
Turned down last week: 2 festivals with no budget for speakers 1 writing course with no budget for teachers 1 film project with no budget to option the book - plus they wanted me to write the screenplay. For free. Don't do it, kids. Don't work for free. Because to them, what's free is worthless.

If so some eason you do choose to work for free (for example, for a charity, or to support a small local enterprise), consider sending them an invoice for your usual fee, and mark it void. That way, they'll know the value of what you're giving them.

My 1st job was in a WHSmith bookshop in Fife. In the morning I'd collect books from the shop, based on a list produced each day, & pack them in boxes. Then at lunch a lorry would arrive with new books. We'd take the new ones out & put the old ones in. They were the same books. It did affect me, yes.
