Saw a bloke on the tube at 7.30am peel the cover off a Sainsbury's trifle.
People were watching, interested to see how he'd approach it.

Today marks 85 years since the end of the Winter War.
The Winter War began on 30 Nov 1939, when the Soviet Union attacked Finland without a declaration of war.
Finland retained its independence, but it came at a heavy cost. We must never forget these sacrifices.
