In the states they call a Mars Bar a Milky Way.
But you can get the 'old' Milky Way there - its called a "3 Musketeers" bar. |

Old bangers you could buy for 150 quid and drive into the ground for 6 months until they died.
M.o.t centres that would give you a friendly result for a bit of extra beer money.
Police that were happy to take the fine money themselves and make sure it went directly where it needed to go rather than bother with all the tedious bits of paper and bothering the courts.
10p freddos |

Greater literacy across all forms of the media. There has been a "dumbing down" and reductionism applied by the main media channels.
I know you have to appeal to the widest audience but pandering to the lowest common denominations dilutes the message. It obfuscates the message. It misrepresents the message.
More than that, it imperils people by omitting deeper information they may wished to have known. It infantilises people. It's a form of information discrimination, and it's deliberate and insidious.
Omission is divertive, deviant and dangerous.
I am seriously concerned with the less well-educated members of society, because they are being more and more marginalised, and the media are driving this narrative. I cannot comment on the Education system, having left it so many years ago. |

Usually find that burgers served at travelling fairs are Westlers tinned ones, easy to store as no refrigeration needed. |

"They should bring back dinosaurs. Just think, you could go see them in a park. It'd be amazing! And nothing could possibly go wrong. "
We've already got dinosaurs! They are the over 55's on this website who come from an era when hardware was something that you got at the iron mongers, and the only software around was located between old men's legs before viagara was invented, when it was also hip for a guy to take take a lady out who had gone to a bit of effort to look her best for the occasion, and not expect her to have a pocket calculator in her handbag to work out her share of the tab. You can view this dinosaur in any public park anytime, and you might be amazed by what you see. |
