@thesunneversets hm, good idea! (then I’ll burn it as @wesayso suggests)

There’s a 1971 copy of the Observer in a drawer. From when the place was last cleaned or updated, I guess.

Our ‘holiday’ cottage has a great location, but is damp, dirty and arctic cold. Piss off, 2009.

I’d give Venice Treacle a miss, though: it contained extracts of Egyptian mummies.

Mmm, if only Mother Bailey’s Quieting Syrup were still available.

@wesayso @garrettc sigh, yes, Triffids a fantastic (and grim) book. Still have the 80s series seared in my brain, too.
