Hey Grandad, have you tried buying a cup of coffee anywhere in the UK this century? Requires an Italian language lesson followed by a brief on Australian/American slang.


And we started calling greasy spoons "cafes" in the 1950s.

Oooh let's take a guess!


The French are crazy about their bread though, aren't they? Queues out of the door in any decent neighbourhood bakery on a daily basis...

I stand corrected. Bizarre how that's before I was born yet something I've always thought was true.


Still, online searching shows the baguette voted best in Paris still on costs 1.2 euros or about ?1.


Why can't that be done here by good bakers? Overheads can't be that different can they?

In colloquial Egyptian Arabic the word for bread and the word for life are the same - aish.


Here in post-Thatcher Britain, of course, bread means money.


This is the sort of faux profundity that sounds best delivered over a glass of coffee and a pair of worn corduroys, so I am just the tw*t to make it.

    • Please consider any security issues associated with someone helping. Does the person have good intentions? Do they know what they are doing? Will they require your passwords or screen unlock. Will they set them for you and consequently know them? Will they store them for you? Are you sharing passwords you cannot change immediately after or are used in other places? Will they recommend apps that potentially open up security or privacy issues you do not know about. It is a bit of a minefield depending on what help you need 🙂
    • I think it's outrageous that he thinks he can do this. This is about reducing waiting lists. How dare he seek to fundamentally change the judicial system to address administrative failings (for which he is responsible). Courts are notoriously slow. Judges are slow. Perhaps look at WHY there are so many cases - what's going on? is crime going through the roof? Why not more judges, why not look at how court admin is managed?  We had one judge - over retirement age, who only worked once a week (possibly) and was slow, frail and no idea about emails etc. no sense of urgency. I actually complained which did hurry things up.  This is not a dynamic private company who wants to get things done - it takes time, it's a complicated and thorough process. RIGHTLY SO.  As least he's not lifting the lid on free legal aid and increasing the tax payers funding of it.
