    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It still is, it has the stench of death all over it. They still are, they're just waiting to see how England still manages to survive outside of the evil empire despite all the predictions to the contrary.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Strange, I can't recall horsemeat ever being passed off as beef here before the UK joined the Common Market? Perhaps that was because the price of meat had not yet been hugely inflated in order to subsidise French and German farmers?

    New Dr Who

    The same is true of stories set in the future. They always exhibit present day attitudes even though these have only been around for a few decades at most and are unlikely to survive a hundred years in the future. You can also tell which decade a show was made in from the make-up the actresses...

    Bits of the UK you've never been to .....

    Margate's idea of an infinity pool is a walled enclosure which fills up with seawater, seaweed and jellyfish when the tide is in. There was at one time a pier which at least offered changing facilities but even that's now gone. I remember thinking "Where's the pool? Is that it?!!!" It's only...
