of course... different skid every day, sometimes resembling a gaelic knot, sometimes a mystic hindi phrase and sometimes chinese characters for "always wear scks with crocs".

Can't do that Franki - am too busy working on a three-quarter length skinny-jean trouser that can sit halfway down the thigh and is part shell suit and part stone-washed denim (of course my long hair keeps getting in the way so I tied it back into a ponytail which I am not sure whether to tuck under my baseball cap or through the hole at the back) and now have to change the whole colour scheme so it matches my football shirt. But keep it under your bucket hat eh?

Do you mean this maxxi? Guardian journalist making his fashion statement.

A Fashion Editor doing a puff piece for M&S just because it was their 125th anniversary - the swine.


I believe your unproven scattergun approach to conspiracy theory and having looked at her other articles can charge that the Guardian is clearly also sponsored by Versace, Dior, McCartney, Lagerfeld, H&M, Moschino, Reiss, McQueen, Sarah Burton, Marc Jacobs and the colour Orange.


She even did a similar puff piece piece on a bag maker of all things - typical fashion editor.

forgot to say I also occasionally wear an elasticated, gaudily patterned snood or bandana and now that I have seen Ben Westwood's 'riding coats' I shall be doing my best to acquire one so I can wear it wear with my Akubra.

Resistance is futile, maxxi, as I will continue the m&s theme. As for the other sponsoring fashion companies they didn't appear on my radar when I first done my research on the Guardian four years ago. Oh yes, I now deem Versace, Dior, McCartney, Lagerfeld, H&M, Moschino, Reiss, McQueen, Sarah Burton, Marc Jacobs and the colour Orange unworthy! This remind me when American Apparel became Guardian's label of the year. Talk about kiss of death.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
