    A favourite story my grandma used to tell me was of one time when she was at her local laundrette, and this posh-looking woman was using the facilities. The look on her face suggested she would really rather be anywhere else.

    The woman's washing could be seen moving around through the glass door, apart from a pair of knickers which stubbornly stuck to the glass, giving everyone a view of a giant skid mark on the gusset. The woman looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her up.

    She loved her toilet humour, my nan

    We too have one of those full size ones in the bedroom (if that comment doesn't bring Marco out of hibernation I don't know what will), but it too doesn't get used (still talking about the Echo!).

    But my brother had just given us a new one as an early Christmas pressie - I think he must have gone a bit mad with the Black Friday pish - it's shaped like a small football, and the SQ is shockingly good. Amazon must be responding to customer complaints here, because there is a button on top that switches off it's ability to 'listen'.

    Lol
    Well suffolk isn't quite what was referring to.
    On another point my housing Assoc are making it unlikely that I will get to put s ev charger on wall by driveway. They are putting so many obstacles in way for a poxy simple job it's obvious they just don't want it. Link claim to be a green company too .
    The company for instance said they would want to update the consumer box. Link say no. It's their box nobody touches it.
    So much for them being green .

    I'm about to give up quite frankly.

    Suffolk is southerners, Norfolk is northerners, clue is in the name I consider myself a northerner, but to Scottish folk I'll be a southern jessie or something. As they are wont to say in the Appalachians it's all relative

    On the eastern side I would expect it to be colder, but my friends up at Ullapool have it a bit milder I think. Gulf Stream brushes past it, even have palm trees in Plockton iirc. Though you wouldn't know it if you tried swimming up there - I did once, never again.

    Once upon a time that may have been true for the Kingdom of East Anglia.
    However, East Anglia seems to be forgotten about (other than for weekend escapes from the smoke) - good in some ways I suppose. I have even seen the Anglia region being described as "Midlands"

    Back to Grant's point (I think), I would agree that this government seems determined to alienate the very people from up t'north who gave them their massive victory last election.
