Anyone want jampots?

I'm very unlikely to make jam any time soon.

I made some strawberry and vanilla jam and some lemon curd.

Now all I need to do is make some scones!

To be frank its not often that most of the time. The amount of OTT hardware I saw for small government sites was hilarious. I once saw a bill of £5k a month hosting for stuff you could do more robustly on AWS for $100....

That was one of the things they set out to address with www.gov.uk: they were able to say "Nobody has ever looked at this page, therefore it can be removed" and clear up loads of cruft.

Apparently they only receive about ten applications per year for a license for a burial at sea, so that's staying paper-based for now
