A bloke in NI has turned an old Belfast citybus into a boat and is now pottering along the River Bann in it, which is frankly excellent 😄
What other very British thing should be given a completely new job? I’m voting for a phone box sauna 😂
Woke up to some good news today about Virgin officially taking on Eurostar ! I visit Paris often to see family, but Eurostar’s prices and disruptions have pushed me to fly far too many times! I don’t know about people here, but I’m very glad Eurostar is finally getting some competition. Do you think Virgin will bring prices down or end up just as expensive?
A waiter in Rome once told me, completely straight faced that British people have no palate because all we eat is beans on toast. I laughed it off, but I’ve never forgotten it, and this BBC piece today brought it all back. The parsnip 'banana' sandwiches made me chuckle, though they don’t exactly help our defence.
If you could serve one British dish to change the mind of a sceptic who thinks our food is terrible, what would it be? On the other hand, which dish would you make sure stayed firmly off the menu?
