Croydon is often the pinnacle of urban grimness, even the Greggs has a military grade bouncer, but now sports my favourite sign of civilised society: a beautiful fully restored public water fountain

Sure, last night was filled with drama & excitement. But now the stage is being set for the thrilling finale of #cropredy2026

@QcWynter @UKSupremeCourt Similarly, one can place Magnesium Hydroxide in water ( and call it milk of magnesia) but the potion does not become milk

@JamesMelville That's a huge packet of beef mince, nearly a kilo.
The label says it's 9.47 per kilo, ( 4.30 per lb)

Stafford town centre.
Vile 1980s disaster of a shopping centre that ripped the heart out of the old St John's market. Consigned to the bin of history

@Dis_Critic The worst consequences of these insane policies are always suffered by those with less power, money and status. Searle and Bumba aren't stripping off or dealing with menstrual issues with Upton present, but pride themselves on the fact that they forced other women to do so.

Plenty of coverage of empty shelves
But nothing about the producers abandoned by supermarkets who refuse to pay for orders they are not honouring, nor the food waste caused by this cyber crime
