Would be nice to be able to use these on all residential sections of public highway...

A sign by the side of a track leading into a park. There is a 5mph speed limit and under the speed limit sign it says Children have priority in this area.

I’m in a campsite at the moment and yes it is 5mph and yes everyone is adhering to it and yes the same people go home and oppose 20 mph where they live. Baffling.

Home! Here endeth my Cornwall holiday thread, hope you liked my random photos ☺️ Stopped at a farm shop on the way home, thought I'd share this snap which illustrates my lifelong - and very firm - opinion on the great scone debate.

I put cream on first because it's easier to spread the thick cream onto the scone, and then daub the runnier jam on afterwards. It's a purely practical decision.

Also it makes a cream scone (rhymes with gone) different compared to normal toast etc.

Cream does go on first. There is a historical story to explain it but prosaically cream was used where we would now use butter. Presumably cream was easier to make than butter.

That's what I've always said! It replaces butter, and you'd never attempt to spread butter over jam.
