Never thought about this before, but people who are larger get much better value for money when it comes to clothing ! Shops don’t charge different prices depending on the volume of clothing !

I feel embarrassed due to a purchase I made earlier at the newsagents. No, my hands didn’t wander to the top shelf of the magazine counter and purchase something. Actually I bought a copy of the Cambridge News ! The front cover story caught my attention and I needed a little light reading this morning […]

In Waitrose today. After asking the guy at the butchers counter about steak on the bone (idiot showed me something about 6cms thick- I laughed and said “I can hardly grill that”. Then my eye caught these things: Totally horrid looking ! I won’t reduce the tone by saying what they reminded me of. However, […]

Just reading a Sunday Times article about Audi now equipping service engineers with head cameras and the ability for customers to be able ask them questions. That’s perfect for Cambridge Engineers (who all drive Audi cars). They can now fuel their other passion- the ability to always do things better- I can just imagine commentary […]

Specifically: * Thanks for giving me a great exercise challenge. The usual 4 minutes departure notice from the main station concourse to that complete […]

Saw this at Boots earlier today, I assume they ran out of English only signs and so had to pick up some from the Boots in Cardiff. Alternatively, maybe they expect a large increase in Welsh tourism in Cambridge ?

Interesting observation last night contrasting different places (albeit with a small sample size). I’ve no doubt complained before about people in Cambridge having poor awareness of the space around them. I usually follow this up with the joke that coming from Glasgow I have to be aware of what’s around me for fear of being […]

Spotted this in Cambridge tonight: Doesn’t surprise me that Cambridge City is covered by Liberal Democrat. Sadly, if this was at street level, I’d have made a minor amendment: Or maybe ?:
