My old friend @SuellaBraverman has described rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' I always thought lifestyle choices were things such as cargo pants, fishing and decorating your bathroom with a bowl of potpourri. I want to see if this image I found on google described as 'Wooden Botanical Fragrant Potpourri Bowl With Lemon' can raise £50,000 for homelessness charity @crisis_uk Donate here: instagram.com/p/CzPTaJzIK4M/…

So, we’ve had a little rethink about our ‘Cheers to the Locals’ beer tasting evening. We know times are tough at the moment & we want to continue to be a place you can escape to, and forget about your gas bill and the pressing need to buy Chrimbo presents. So without further ado!

RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE!!! We're considering buying in cakes rather than baking in-house, but want to partner with a local, independent business who offer vegan, gluten free and organic options, and are generally lovely humans. Your very best recommendations please 🙏

MOST OF THE US BEGINS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ON THE SECOND SUNDAY IN MARCH & REVERTS TO STANDARD TIME ON THE FIRST SUNDAY IN NOVEMBER YET MOST PEOPLE REFER TO TIME IN PST/EST ALL YEAR LONG & IT’S WRONG. RIGHT NOW WE’RE IN PDT/EDT & WE SHOULD JUST STOP CHANGING THE CLOCKS ALTOGETHER

might have lost mind but can’t understand why mayonnaise got a photo of egg on it label, like: you know eggs? we made a white paste from it and you gonna just have it in your house and it’s in a jar, like a jam, but it egg paste, like why boast about that? keep the egg bit quiet
