....or Wigan?
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

When you wash an athletic scarf, do the colours run?

Celery chips! Just the thing to serve at the side of a M&S "cauliflower steak" ! NO! Chips are not celery, steak is not cauliflower.

Cattle and pigs and sheep stuffed with antibiotics, chicken washed in chlorine, cured meat pumped up with water and people think it's strange to go for the veggie option. I eat fish but not that farmed salmon covered in sea lice and I can't be doing with shellfish where you can't tell it's head from its arse and probably eat both.
