Thanks to an anonymous donor, we have one free copy of GI Brides available to a self-isolating elderly or high-risk person, or NHS / frontline key worker. If you know someone who would like it, let us know. First come first served.

If anyone in #Liverpool would like a signed copy of one of these books for £7, give me a shout. They were left over from a talk I did earlier today and I could do without having to lug them all the way home again! I’m around until lunchtime on Tuesday, bottom end of Duke Street.

Dear @4hundredrabbits pls can you stock vegan cheese for vegan customers rather than telling them to buy it themselves from the shop across the rd? Esp when you’ve been advertising a new vegan pizza (which turns out to just be pizza with no cheese). @FatGayVegan @WeAreVeganuary
