    Ditto this, other side (ish) of outside london

    totally agree - I drive between the north west and Edinburgh a lot. Literally no reception through most of the lakes or the Scottish countryside. Plus what stations are available are fairly crap. I listen mainly to planet rock. Their playlist has not changed much over the past 20 years. In 20 years their playlist will consist of songs by dead people.

    You're probably right. The other day walking down the street I thought... ah a funeral. Nope, just ten black cars parked along the street.

    Colour will come to Bavaria. We can hope.

    That's because you live in Bavaria

    We like Dab. Similar to Sole or Plaice. An economical fish as it's plentiful in our waters and not on any endangered lists. You proles should eat more of it to spare the cod for palace tables.
