Paint, it’s shite nowadays. Wtf is going on?
I’m decorating the hall & landing, used Dulux (so not cheap crap) it’s magnolia over what is already magnolia, so no massive colour changes & literally every surface needs 3 coats (some bits 4) & same with the woodwork. Tin says ‘one coat’ yeh right one coat my arse.

This is the mentality you are dealing with that they think by putting up the tax a hundred quid a year will have you all running out and buying a £40,000 electric car. Life is very straightforward in the minds of a lot of the middle/upper class that are in Government. Simply put your hand in your pocket and spend your way out of the issue, I can honestly see a situation coming about where the average working person is put back to a position they’d be in the fifties where access to a car was unlikely unless you had a fair bit of wedge in your pocket.

A good train journey is absolutely the best way to travel. Unfortunately there aren't many of those left in this country anymore.
This was a trip from Brno to Prague last year. Even at 5.30 in the morning the restaurant car was open and practically empty. So I had their version of a full English (they were giant baked beans and the sausage was a frankfurter type).

Followed by cake.

With two coffees, all for about £10.
In these surroundings.

What's not to like?

Got an email about the minimum wage increase pay rise at work, and just as expected there was a sob story about the company doing shit.
It's always when they have to pay us more 🤣
