Whilst I agree that Reform receives far too much coverage (and positive coverage, at that), Reform may argue that it is the 3rd largest UK party by votes cast at the 2024 election. Only the FPTP system denied them more MPs. Labour needs to change the narrative and stop echoing Reform's racism.

My old man was fed up of my coming home drunk aged 17/18 so he put the click down on the Yale lock one night. He was mortified to find me sleeping outside when he opened the door to get the milk. OM: Did the milkman see you? Me: Yes, I told him that you locked me out. Strange, only happened once

We had the novel, A Kestrel for a Knave, on which this was based as our O-level novel in Eng. Lit. No cheat sheets, no practice questions, we had to read it but, no problem, the book was fantastic. This was the main reason I passed Eng. Lit. supported by the poems of Wilfred Owen.

I was there in 1979. Star-gazing was amazing as there was little to no air pollution (prevailing westerly winds). This also means that you can get bad sunburn very quickly. We were on the sand bar between St Agnes and Gugh for a couple of hours on an overcast day. Two of my mates got frazzled.
