A handy tip regarding scones: never put the jam on the cream or the cream on the jam. Put them side by side on the scone. Really messes with people’s minds!!! I end them all in one go. One moment it's there; next it's scone! Reported for being offensive to humour |

Isn’t ‘knitting needles’ an odd name? Too big for needles. I propose KNIT-STIX (copyright Cygnus Bazza 2026) |

He’s not wrong about atlases/maps. Full of filth. Genuine, actual place-names incl. Wetwang in Yorks, Lower Swell in Gloucs, Brown Willy in Cornwall, Titty Hill in Sussex |

Uncle Jack’s clearly past the Lemsip stage. Maybe try a combo of Night Nurse and Sudafed Sinus-Ease for a last desperate roll of the dice. |
