I don't think it classifies as a truly cheap eat (about £11+ for a portion), but Hiden in Coal Drops Yard. Independently owned and really tasty Japanese curry rice.

Maybe its the same guy? Did yours install replacement windows so badly it rained on the inside?

It is, as you indicate, complicated, but the blame here does not fall on the shoulders of the press.

If one wants to pursue ‘heterodox policies’, fine (though of course she had absolutely zero mandate). However, one needs to get or keep the people that bankroll this state on side. That means cosying up to bond markets, pension funds, analysts, hacks, etc beforehand. To not do so is utterly moronic, regardless of whether the policy is the right one or not for the UK.

This is a free link. Explains the enduring effect of Truss’ ‘moron premium’ pretty well.

Giving away billions in unfunded tax cuts pissed off the bond traders, raising the interest on government borrowing, which spooked the markets. It also had obscure but potentially catastrophic consequences for pension funds, which Truss/Kwarteng should’ve paid attention to. And yes, it led mortgage lenders to ramp up interest rates and withdraw products in the turmoil, leading to entirely foreseeable damage to the UK property market.

Tl;dr - She’s a moron and we all paid the premium.

In our house he’s called Mr Bodger. Lives nearby too so on occasion has come back to tell me about the durability of his handiwork. I dream of telling him the truth: the reason why it’s survived is because it’s too expensive to put right his incompetence.

I've got a card holder from Montable. Really nice and a lovely guy based out of a unit in the Oxo Tower. https://www.instagram.com/montable_london/

Looks like someone forgot to put 50p in the meter for the website though.

But if you were in Poland, you could do fun stuff like this.

Sorry, slow to reply on this. Fail to nominate is in response to a police request for the driver of a vehicle to be identified. This comes in a letter to the registered keeper of the car.

There is a separate offence of fail to stop/fail to report.

This is really helpful, and good fun.

Based on what you've written the likely charge would be careless driving.

The fail to respond to the request for driver's details (sometimes called failure to nominate) is also a criminal offence.

Only you can decide if those penalties are high/low/about right for the incident you found yourself in. I would be very clear if the Met Police do proceed that you want to seek compensation via the court in the event the individual is found / pleads guilty.

I like what you've done with the place!

I would recommend this piece, very specifically, on psychology / medication in gender dysphoria (which I use as the medical term only).

Hannah Barnes’ book Time To Think is also valuable, albeit more sceptical.

Interested in brakes. Will DM.

Literally nothing would surprise me about him.

The FT tells me:

He added that he intended to continue his polling day tradition of getting a “special election pie” from a local butchers in his constituency of Richmond and Northallerton.

Asked if he was planning a special meal for election night, Sunak said: “My favourite meal, generally, is sandwiches.”

And they call Starmer boring...

They’re a type of moth, sometimes commonly called the ‘fig skeleton moth’ because of what it looks like when they’ve munched on the leaves. They don’t do much harm but it looks nasty. We wipe the eggs, detritus and caterpillars off with a bit of paper towel.

Whilst I ain't gonna cry a tear for the bookies, it seems a lot of the 'bets' were on Betfair Exchange, which is just punters against punters. https://www.ft.com/content/1cc50124-e19c-481d-bd91-fdecb3d64528

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was just being stiffed by Phonica. I ordered on 01/05.

Fifteen minutes of him and Tice waffling to find out it is Clacton.

FT earlier ran with speculation he'd try Clacton as January polling had it as the only constituency Reform could win, if he was candidate.

The lay brothers at the monastery were perfectly pleasant...as long as you followed the rules. The car in front of us wasn't registered right, so: 'geen bier'. The bloke was absolutely furious but no charity from the monks!

Belgian residents can also get home delivery now, which further strains the 'no resale' thing.

Nothing beats the anxiety of driving all the way to Vleteren, hoping you haven't mucked up the whole telephone ordering process and are about to get turned away empty handed.

This perhaps? Excellent analysis by John Burn-Murdoch.

That looks cool. Dibs. DM incoming.
