    on the upside you can now write union Jack without someone incorrecting you about its only being applicable on certain naval vessels.

    Browsing Iplayer it does seem everything is called ‘ …Britain and…’ or …’Great British…’ Paranoid much?

    We are just waiting for the baby boomers to pop of so everyone else can have money, houses and sensible politicians.

    We’ve got our country back apparently.

    I’m not sure where we lost it though.

    Jeremy Corbyn won the general election, even though he didn’t.

    Lib Dems lost another leader and then no one could be arsed to take on the job other than Vince Cable.

    I don’t know what everybody is on about. Everything is exactly the same as it was a year ago.

    Over here 26″ is the new 29″ and Orange Clockworks and downtube shifters is da schnitzel innit.

    Talking of Orange, the fanboys are still fanboys and the rest of us still liken the brand to Filing Cabinets.. which is still funny. So you can rely upon that.
    Green and Pleasant Land is still green and reasonably pleasant, it’s just now the residents are allowed to be as nasty and vindictive and down right rude as they’ve wanted to be for quite some time.

    Jamies restaurants are still microwaved food served in sheds, slate and wood have replaced China plates and everyone is aggrieved at having sauce spilt down thier gaping v-neck t-shirts.

    Men can’t wear skinny jeans, mostly because thier sisters are now naked from the waist down. Hipsters have been replaced by Skinheads and Bovva Boys n Girls and drink milk not beer.

    No pudding after dark if you are naughty.

    Sunglasses must match your white M4 convertible.

    Chris Froome won the Tour de France.

    Any new stuff to try at Greggs?

    What about NOT EVEN GETTING OUT OF YOUR CAR!

    Wherever the hell you’ve been, the future is right here, right now – in the UK (or Salford to be precise)

    Nothing on that Greggs menu grabs me, I might stick with what I know , like an old person buying a plain vanilla cone, year after year.

    A steak bake it is. I’ll get one at the airport. What is ‘in’ in the pub? I heard it was all gin now?

    That, or mans beer that acutually looks like lager.

    Went to the pub with my dad at lunch time. 3 different types of ‘golden ale’ not a dirty brown pint to be seen.
